Haven't been on the site in the last year or two. As I have browsed for replacement parts for saws that I have, I have noticed on Ebay that there is large presence of aftermarket Chinese made parts. What is the consensus of using these parts as replacement parts? I'm not talking about...

Since I have purchased my home the Mulberry tree in the front yard has been neglected. I've done some pruning to the tree to eliminate lower branches that hinder view of the road way in the past. I am in the process of clearing out the front yard, which had gravel in it, to prepare for grass. As...

Will someone explain to me why a bearing spacer is used? I don't see them on 660, 360, other pro saws...

I've had the oppurtunity to grab my first 440 with miscellaneous parts missing from the saw. When I remove the clutch I find the oiler along with the worm gear. My question, did all 440's come with a "bearing spacer"? What is the purpose of the "bearing spacer"? I know that my 310 and 039...

I got a 028WB and 390 for $35. The 390 had a bad piston and cylinder. I have on the way a 440 Magnum and 036 that I purchased for $100. Both need parts to get running.

This is one of the carb limiters. The part that sticks out is what I need to trim?

This might be off topic but what concrete saw is related to the 440/460 series?

Loaning a saw out isn't good for the piston and cylinder. Here's a thread, including pictures, of a scored piston and cylinder. The pictures are from a Stihl 290 that came to me damaged. http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=115052

Improper installation or movement of snap rings can wreak havoc inside the cylinder.

You've turned that saw completely around!

No the limiter caps are still on the carb. I ran the saw for about a minute after assembling it back together. I will have to fine tune the carb as it sounded like it was running "lean". Anyone have pictures and details of a muffler mod on the 290/310/390 saws?

I was able to acquire a MS 310 piston and cylinder and it was placed into the saw. On the sixth pull, the saw fired right up. This was my first piston/cylinder replacement as I was happy to see my efforts fire right up. I am not sure as to why the original piston and cylinder burned up. I do...

For connecting the cylinder to the engine pan, would other red HT brand sealant work? I called my local auto store and they carry a "P" something brand red, HT sealant. What other brands have you used for connecting the engine pan to the cylinder?

The Search: As I got under the flywheel to look at the points and condenser, I was confused as to what I was suppose to find. I have previously taken apart other 031's (points and condenser models and electronic versions) so I knew what to expect. As I looked for the round condenser, instead I...

The same piston that I tried cleaning with acid and then sanding. After sanding it twice and feeling the inside of the cylinder I was convinced to get new cylinder and piston (thus I "scored" a new/used 310 for the 029). I was hoping it would clean up a little better than it did.
