Sthil 201t - keeps snapping

[fhudo]

I have a brand new Sthil 201ms. The starter cord keeps snapping. I have had it replaced professionally (Sthil dealer) and I have replaced it 2 times. After about 6 starts something is fraying the cord and it snaps.

I can’t see anything obvious that is causing the cord to fray.

Any body else have this problem?

There’s a bur I. There somewhere. I would ask them to replace the entire recoil assembly.

Brand new saw, certainly the dealer's problem. I would insist they replace the entire assembly. There is no reason you should be investing any more of your time/money to fix what is obviously a factory defect. Factory defects happen, that is what the warranty is for.

Saw might have too much compression.

Even a new saw comes with flaws.

Is this good? Other than it makes my cord snap...

The fraying is the prob. Not compression. Something is not lining up right in the recoil. Do you have a whole one you could switch out.
