Bring it on! What else are we going to do on a boring winter work day?
Hold onto your lungs.
Man brings in two 310's. Neither will start. He needs his saws ASAP. I grab one and fire it up, doesn't run worth a dayummm. Check the fuel in the tank, half water. Refill with good fuel saw runs fine. Hand it back to him. I grab the other one, rope won't pull, locked tight. I remove the pull cord assembly, grab the flywheel and it will turn back and forth half way and stop dead. I tell the guy you done lost a bearing. He isn't buying it, he wants to see the bearing. I tell him its got to come apart for him to see the bearing, thats $50.00. He thinks and says ok, tear it apart and I'll be back to check on it later.
I rip it apart, sure enuff the clutch side bearing has lost is spacer, all the ball bearing are together on one side of the bearing. I set the thing to the side. He comes in two days later wanting to see this bad bearing. I show it to him. He pulls what I knew he was going to do, he says screw it, I'll buy a new saw, what kinda discount can you give me. I go your discount is the work I did showing you this bad bearing, buy a new saw at list and we'll forget about this saw. He buys another 310 at list, leaves some chains for me to sharpen and gives me the one with the bad bearing.
I take the bad bearing saw home, install new bearings and seals and bring it back to the shop. Yup its for sale. A week later here this same man comes to get his sharpened chains. I go you wanna hear your old saw run. He goes you got it running, I go yeah, you coulda had it repaired, I told you that. He goes well lets hear it run. I go get the old saw, fire it up and it purrs like a kitten. He goes whatttttttt, I shoulda got it repaired. I go you was too tight to get it repaired, remember. He grins and asks how much. I go I'm gonna sell it for 200.00. He writes me out a check and buys back his old saw,LOLOLOL
