stihl ms310 build went well

[Brian Carlson]

Just built this ms310, opened up the muffler, widened the intake and exhaust ports and install some frog skin on the air filter cover to let it breath a little better. It really liked the mods. Pulls 20" bar 3/8 full chisel very well.

Nice job. Saw a few 1127s in a dealer junk pile yesterday. I did 3 of em last year, but I passed this time.

Sounds real good.

Nice! You mind showing a picture of how you opened up the muffler? I'm planning on rebuilding my 290 with a 390 top end. Wanted to do a muffler mod for the fun of it.

3/4 inch drill bit to the center of the muffler is all i do

Great info, thanks guys!

I'd advise against a too-aggressive muffler mod or you'll start hearing things that aren't there like I do now...
