Chainsaw Repair NJ

A customer brought in a Stihl MS 310 chainsaw for repair to our shop in Glassboro, NJ. The customer informed us that the chainsaw was having issues starting and was running rough. Our mechanic placed the saw on his workbench and began diagnosing the problem. The first issue was immediately noticeable—the strong smell of old, stale gas. Since bad fuel often causes performance problems, he drained the tank and replaced it with fresh fuel.

After refueling, he attempted to start the chainsaw, but it still struggled to fire up. Moving to the next possible issue, he checked the spark plug and found it fouled. He swapped it out for a new one, and this time, the chainsaw roared to life. However, while the saw started, it still wasn’t running as smoothly as it should.

Chainsaw Idling Repair

Chainsaw repairs often require multiple fixes to restore full functionality. After replacing the spark plug, our mechanic inspected the carburetor and discovered it completely clogged with buildup. Given the extent of the blockage, he determined that installing a new carburetor was the best solution.

One of the unique advantages of having repairs done at Ignition Lawn Mower & Small Engine is real-time updates. Customers can track diagnostics and progress through the Ignition Lawn Mower & Small Engine Portal. Once the new carburetor arrived, our mechanic installed it right away. The Stihl MS 310 fired up instantly and ran smoothly. After making slight carburetor adjustments, the chainsaw reached optimal performance.

Our team test-ran the saw multiple times to ensure consistency and proper idling. Everything checked out, so we quickly notified the customer. They were thrilled to pick up their fully restored chainsaw and get back to cutting cords of wood for their fireplace.
