However, some time back, I was surprised to find a 200t service manual on line for download. I downloaded, and it was a great help so I saved it in my documents. I went back to it several times but now its gone?? I guess I should have printed it. I have several documents in the same folder and all the others are still there so, somehow I must have deleted it. I thought I could still download but can't find it again. Searched my entire computer (programs and files) several times and it doesn't come up. Was it just a fluke that I was able to find in the first place? #Post#: 54325-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl Service Manuals By: Chainsawrepair Date: February 15, 2015, 11:16 am --------------------------------------------------------- I think I have it saved. #Post#: 54327-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl Service Manuals By: Chainsawrepair Date: February 15, 2015, 11:22 am --------------------------------------------------------- Check email listed here.

I have had hundreds of chainsaw engines apart. One of the best tool a mechanic can have is an exploded view of parts or a service manual. One example of good information in a service manual is replacing a stihl pole saw oil pump. If you ever replace one you will see why. Also found in service manuals is the use of special tools and some even show how to fabricate your own. Sure some people can figure it out, but that takes time. *****************************************************
