Old Faithful”(Lady) has finally passed

[crackerbuilt]

My second love,and first big purchase after my marriage to the first love of my life, was a STIHL MS 310. She was my pride and joy! She made me feel like a MAN!! She had me wrapped from day one, the smell of two stroke oil started an addiction that I still struggle with today. I’ll admit it I love chainsaws... every brand,size, color, chain pitch, grind angle etc.
Old Faithful has a minor straight gassing early in her years that scared me to death. We brought her back to life and that was the last time a saw ever got loaned out again.
Well today she slung the crank rod and she’s gone home forever. I’ll never forget the old gal, boy we had some adventures . I’ll never forget my one true “Lady”.
Hope you don’t mind me putting a Dolmar 6400 in your spot on the tree.

Raise her from the ashes with 390 head with a pop up piston!

That’s what we tried to do!!! Bought a POS farmatech BIG BORE 390 short block and a cross performance pop up piston cabre rings. . New OEM thump tube, gas line, manifold, muffler, and POS knock off carb, I purchased because the two OEM carbs wouldn’t act right.
Ended up with a nice tight 050” squish and 105psi compression. No leaks held pressure and vacuum.
I learned my lesson.
Won’t happen again I’ll never purchase another product from HUTZL/FARMTECH.
Don’t care how many videos are posted. Nor who post them.

Oh my. I would use the piston but in an OEM head.

I know they were testing the some of the am brand heads were no good.

I drove 2.5 hours one way today to have a 30 year veteran builder look at it. He diagnosed it and we were just trying to get it to idle hoping that after a few tanks the compression might come up enough to make the saw function somewhat until we could regroup and go with another plan. That’s when she let go.

Bummer

When a saw is built up out of a menagerie of parts from different suppliers, it's inevitable that there's going to be instances of an incompatibility that lead to a failure. Sounds like this was a catastrophic one. Sorry the saw died. It can still be revived though. Try a different combination.

So far we've killed 2 roosters a drained their blood on it. Shook a crow foot and chanted "stairway to heaven" backwards. Burned 5 candles, sprinkled powered mushrooms around it, and rubbed the entire saw with Watkins White Horse Liniment. Still has no signs of life.

105 psi and .050 squish are not good numbers. Lol
