Stihl MS310 Inspection and Teardown. Subscribers Saw. 

Great diagnostics Rich! Thank you for sharing.

Even the not so pro saws deserve a little love! Of the few clamshell saws I've been into, the huskys do seem a little easier/less complex.

I have owned my MS310 for 10 years now. Had to do a complete overhaul and it runs damn good!

Great tidbit about the state of the muffler as a proxy for the condition of a saw

Good video Richard. I enjoy Scott as well, between the two of you I am learning to work on my own stuff as well as the usual few favors for friends. Thank you for the time you put into making content.

I agree about "The Greasy Shop Rag". Scott's channel is great, and so is yours!! I've learned a lot from both of you.

Rich nice and informative. 😊😊😊

Thanks, always informative

That’s very nice of you to fix the 310 for that gentleman. A lot of dealerships won’t do a seal job on an 1127 series due to the labor to get to the seals. I’ve rebuilt dozens of them over the years and they have always been good runners.

Great episode ! mines on the way lol JK and thank you for teaching us

Get crazy with the cheese whiz

🔥👍😁

Stihl also sells a different part number seal for clutch side that you can replace like a pro saw without tearing the entire thing down cuz that sucks

Hey thanks for the shout out and be careful slammin that saw on the bench, you might catch some heat in the comments 🙂

You are the Doctor of chain saws. Sir.

You're definitely thorough. I wish I knew a mechanic like you nearby.

Once again, I always add to my knowledge. Thank you. This makes me wonder about my 2004 MS290.

👍👍 damn. Thought one of them Russian cupie dolls was going to come out of those bags.

Yeah by not just continuing to run it saved this guy some money in long run!

Thanks. This is interesting. How does a saw like this behave while using it?

I got MS311 and absolutely love it!! Did you ever work on one?

Later!

Prevention👍

👌🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼

I see that my MS311 is upgraded saw compared to this. Better quick release air filter, bigger more aggressive dogs, bigger muffler...

Will you vac/pressure test the carb as well?

Hit that like button 🙄👍

Will you do port work if I mail you a saw?

I have an 029 Stihl. I go through a lot of starter pawls. I've used both ,OEM and aftermarket starter pawls. I've converted to the 2 (double pawl) pawl set-up . Still go through too many starter pawls. I've checked for crank bearing play with the starter cover off & chain and bar off by trying to wiggle the flywheel. No play . I do have " flatish " wear on the flywheel bosses (bump-outs, tits,) where the pawls engage with the flywheel. My Stihl dealer says that it's not a problem with the flywheel , they see it all the time. Could the flats in the flywheel be my problem with having to habitually change starter pawls ??

Just a shame what it costs to do all of that to a clamshell engine. As long as the customer is happy

Not an easy or enjoyable saw to work on. This whole line of clamshells are the same. Definitely not built with an OPE tech in mind.

029 ms 290 , 310 there basically stihl version of throw away saws , harry the homeowner saw
