Well I've got one up and running and it runs great.

A month or two ago I looked a a pair of 310's that had the plug threads stripped. Otherwise they looked pretty fair. Can they be Helicoiled ? OK, let me restate that..... Will Helicoils hold up with so few threads ?

[rms61moparman]

They can be repaired but a helicoil isn't the best fix.
There are thread repair articles made specifically for spark plug holes.

Update

You read it right. Plumbcrazyjr & I will be hosting a Stihl 029-310 buildoff on April 14. We will be integrating this build off with the next MO, AR, OK, KS GTG.

Here is a list of rules. The rules are subject to change if need be.

Saws- Any Stihl 029, 029 super, MS290, MS310, MS390

They will be run in separate classes. Maybe a shootout between the winners of each class.

Must have working chain brake, choke, all factory covers

We will be runnin them on 91 non ethenol, mixed with Stihl ultra.

20" bar & 3/8 full chisel chain. We supply the bars, Chain will be Oregon LGX.

We are plannin on usein oak to do the cuts. Not sure right now if it'll be square or round.

3 cuts per saw, with at least two stopwatches per cut. Then the average of those times will be the official time.

One guy will run all the saws.

I'm gonna try to come up with some prizes fer the top three. Not sure what we're gonna come up with.
Eric & I will have saws in the lineup, but not able to win any prizes.

I hope this will be fun fer all that enter. It should be interesting to see how these saws turn out.
