Vi 200-w?

[kevinm1980]

So was looking at the 2 vi200s I currently have, I noticed they have different it numbers one is a 50054 and one is a 50055, according to the Terry ut thread this is the Western edition..the only difference I can see is that it has a xl-76 style muffler..but I assumed someone just swapped it at some point, is there any actual difference between the vi200 and the vi200-w?

  The +Type:50055  ( VI-200 W )  SN:4116T059 .. from the List has a Wrap-Around Handle Bar,
while it was an optional accessory ... I believe this model came that way from the factory .
It's the only notable difference I can see from the two pictures I have .

The model you have appears to have many XL-76 pieces ... air filter cover, muffler, handle bar,
are all incorrect for the saw. Not unusual for a Forty-Seven year old saw .
Even the clutch cover looks like a modified piece from something else .

Yeah this one was refinished at one point, the air filter cover is that came with this saw is in a box as it broke along with the starter cover when somebody hit it with an axe..and yeah clutch cover was originally blue,
