MS200T won't shut off?
« on: July 13, 2015, 02:53:17 pm »
Just picked up a olded MS200T and got the thing running but it won't shut off, what would be the first place to check?  A bad switch, or the wire to the coil? The switch is up on the front of the handle, looks like a on/off and choke.

Ok I got the handle apart the shut off wire came off of the metal band inside the handle. Works now.

Easy enough  8).

I always do the K.I.S.S. on anything I work on and work my way up to the harder more expensive.

Yep.  It's often something simple.
