Project Stumpbroke MS310/390

[Stumpys Customs]

I've got a Stihl MS 310 here that I'll be building a 390 motor to put in it. I don't know why this series of saw interest me, but it's fun to see what I can make one do.

Here's a vid of it stock with the 310 59cc motor.

There might be a 345 or 455 - or both in his future. I am getting to like modded saws.

Well, it won't be a real fair comparison since it'll be a bigger motor. I think yer gonna like this saw Hal.

looking forward to seeing the progress!

I'm gonna use a piston for a Stihl TS400. It's just a tad taller & has wider skirts (0.110" wider).
The squish with the stock piston was .031" and the TS400 piston had .023". I'll prolly weld a small popup on this to raise the comp a lil more.

Should help with the performance on this saw.

I doubt it:msp_confused: These Stihls make me appreciate the husky's design that much more:msp_thumbsup:

I have a few buddies that run these saws and I almost bought one myself before I knew them. I'm glad I went the route I did, but can't help but wonder what could be done w/ these.

Whats wrong w/ the Windstar?

Here's some timing duration #'s

Stock MS390
EX-160*
TR-110*
IN-156*
BD-25*
SQ-.031"

MS390 With TS400 piston
EX-158*
TR-108*
IN-158*
BD-25*
SQ-.023"

MS 290 STOCK
EX-158*
TR-120*
IN-158*
BD-19*


I'll add the MS 310 #'s when I get the saw tore down. I think the upper transfers are gonna get raised several deg.

Actually I've been able to get quite abit out of this series of Stihl. I'm a husky fan myself, but also like to do stuff a lil outside the box.

That Windstar is full of motors & parts. 455 olds, 455 buick block, 454 chevy, and some SBC stuff.

I'll be watching this. . . I gotta do a buddies 310 soon, and I'll be using a Bailey's 039 kit. I like the TS 400 idea for sure.

One thing about these series saws, they have a buttload of velocity from almost no room around the crank. . . They do well opened up. :msp_thumbup:

Hurry up and finish this today Stump!

I kinda thought there had to be some potential there, ~ 60cc's thats a good size saw, most likely detuned for a cheaper sale.
I like that little 170 that I have and I did a points converision on a couple of 028WB's last year, nice saws, not anything I'd buy new.
Eventhough the 3 Huskys I bought are the last new saws I'll ever buy.

They do make good storage sheds don't they!
I might have to take over the wife's van for my SBF/BBF/5.0 Mustang parts!
You got an ol' Olds or sumptin?

 

[sgrizz]

Very nice work you do stump. Glad to see you up and running again. Looking foward to the outcome of the saw build.:biggrin:

 

[Stumpys Customs]

I got some pics of the cyl before I started to grind away on it.

I'm in the middle of the port work right now. So far so good.:msp_thumbup:

 

[Stumpys Customs]

Here's the port work.

 

[Stumpys Customs]

I went ahead & welded a popup on the piston. This thing has a big combustion chamber so I made the pop up 0.075'' tall.
Turned what I could of it on the lathe. The flat spot on the intake side I had to finish by hand.

Got the case all cleaned up & ready to put back together.

 

[Stumpys Customs]

Now for the fun part, gutting the muffler.

I only cut half of the baffle out. THis acts as a small head pipe. Does it do any good?? Not sure but it isn't gonna hurt.

I Made the slot in the front of the muffler bigger & modified the deflector to flow more. I also added a port to the clutch side.
