STIHL ms210 rebuild: what should i look for
DIR By: cummins12valve

I am considering buying a stihl ms210 that has a scorched piston
and cylinder. the saw is cheap and worth it to me if it only
needs a topend and cylinder. besides those what should I look
for, and is there anything special that needs to be done for
teardown/ reassembly? I have experience rebuilding 2 stroke
dirtbike engines.

Typically the fuel line is bad.
They often have a single needle carb with no High Speed
adjustment.
There is a reason that the cylinder is scored. Could be someone
forgot to put oil in the gas? Could be there was a air leak. May
have been a bad fuel line or fuel filter or it could be the
seals on the bearings.
This is a plastic body chainsaw with a individual metal engine
assembly. The crank case is split horizontally at the
crankshaft. There is the bottom cover with the upper part of the
crankcase and the cylinder being one piece.

Agreed, figure out why she cooked before you order any parts.
Like 660 said there re any number of reasons why it has a cooked
top end. Due to the way the saw is designed it is not a big deal
to change all the seals when you replace the top end.
Get on the IPL and manuals thread and see if someone hs a copy
of the MS210 IPL and Workshop manuals. They will give you all
the correct part numbers and make life much easier when doing
the repairs.

If you need to replace the cylinder, then make it a ms250

I have a 025 and a 250 - they are nice 45cc what I call limbing
chainsaws. Mine are .325 but some are 3/8 low profile.

Not exactly, the crankshaft has a longer stroke on the 250

I would put some crank seals in for sure. Have had a lot of
problems with them. Make sure you use a new gasket where the
carb mounts and make sure the flange behind the gasket is not
deformed around the screw holes. They will pull up if the carb
is over torqued. It will cause an air leak there as well. Other
wise hope you enjoy your build and the saw. There will also be 2
different seal options you can choose. 9638 003 1581 is for if
the engine is assembled. You are going to want part number 9638
003 1585 for seals, make sure you use sealant around the outer
edges of the seals and around the engine pan. And don't go
light on the sealant around the engine pan.
