Want to Buy Stihl ms310 cylinder

[Harzack223]

As the title states, I am looking for a good used or new cylinder for a 310. Friend gave me a saw that has the plug threads stripped. Haven't tore it down yet but may also be interested in a piston if the price is right.

I would go straight to an aftermarket ms390 kit. Biggest displacement available for this chassis.

 

[Harzack223]

I'm considering that, but figured I would check here before I looked into the aftermarket avenue.

Won't be home for a week , in Maui, but might have a good used own 310 cylinder available. Have to pull locked up saw apart first and check if its salvageable. Already ordered oem replacement for its rebuild.

 

[Harzack223]

After inspecting a little it appears someone bought the wrong spark plug. Piston has a chunk missing on the top of it. I assume it pushed the plug right out and that's how it stripped.

I concur with going the aftermarket 039/MS390 route. There aren't too many aftermarket 310 engine parts available.
The aftermarket kits are cheap. I have a complete OEM NOS kit (non decomp) 039/390 but it's not cheap...

 

[Harzack223]

I know its my cheapest option. I am just a ltitle concerned with reliability and quality as I plan to sell this saw once rebuilt. Don't want an unhappy customer a few months down the road. Which aftermarket kits are of better quality?

 

[fearofpavement]

I've had good experience with the Farmertec cylinders. Used a lot of them. Had one failure out of many and that was due to a broken circlip. I trim those now so shouldn't see that again. I would recommend tearing the saw down completely before ordering parts so you know how extensive of a kit to acquire. And then be patient as it takes about 3 weeks or so to receive it if you ordered it from Hong Kong.

I'll look into those, thanks. I have a few clamshells to repair this month and not looking forward to doing any of them.

 

[fearofpavement]

Once you tear down these saws a few times they become a lot easier and somewhat routine...

There are also US sellers for the same kits if you want it quicker. Depending on how big of a hurry I am in i will select US only in my searches. Sadly, I have recently been getting some if my Chinese orders in faster than some stateside orders...

I am not the seller but someone has a new old stock cylinder on eBay for $60 shipped, it seems to be an excellent deal. 122175435094

Good eye

 

[Harzack223]

Appears someone beat me to it because I can't seem to find it. Thanks for keeping an eye out.

Pull the cylinder and use a helicoil.. I have fixed several cylinders with them, all of which still work to this day. Excellent $2 fix

Helicoil is a cheap fix but it also needs a piston so a kit would be a better option at this point.

I have a nice oem 390 cylinder and piston I had plans for but may be able to part with.
