A while back my Brother in law ate a piston in his MS260. I procured a new P&C from a member here and put it together for him. As I recall I did very little porting work, bringing the ports out to near the edge of the very generous factory bevel. No base gasket and a good muffler mod.
He has a neighbor with a MS310 that he's been cutting with. Well the 260 just stomps all over it. I'm waiting to hear back about filing the chains fresh and then comparing, but it sounds doubtful. His neighbor wants me to make his saw run better. The 260 is running .325 and the 310 should be running 3/8 if I follow specs correctly.
So my question is, does the 310 have as much potential as the 260? Being a larger displacement saw it sure should. Just want to be sure I am not setting myself up to try to polish a turd.
