Have done some digging around and they make two enhancement kits one with part number 1145 007 1800 and the other is part number 1145 007 1802. both kits come with the same ignition module and flywheels the only difference is the carbs. The 1800 kit comes with a Zama C1Q-S280. The 1802 kit comes with a Zama C1Q-S283. The 1802 kit would be the one to get as the C1Q-S283 has a non limiter capped low speed screw. Think i might try that carb and see what for difference may be had there. Also got a price from local dealer for $293.00.

$293!! Holy crap. That's insane. You'd think something like this should be a swap at a dealer free of charge to anyone who forked over the cash to buy one of these new in the first place.  ::)

I haven't notice any tuning  with Any of our 5 201's except clutch springs breaking
more than they should, looks like the sharp edge on the clutch shoe oils the spring prematurely.

So is this "hop up" kit geared towards fixing a known deficiency?

Yes, they were known to be lacking in acceleration and power when they were just started till they got warm. Think it's a good idea but way over priced for my taste. Priced out the C1Q-S283 and they want $150 for it. Just have to keep on running the way it is.

Carbs always seem to be the weak point on the later ms200t's and now the 201.   Seems to me that stihl has had more than enough opportunity to sort out the lean cold start issues after all these years with the engineering talent they have! Lol.   

If they are offering this "enhancement kit" why isn't it being incorporated into the new 201's
