Other than wrong fuel mixture what is the cause for the pistons to to be damaged on a ts 410 stihl saw

SOURCE: hi,my stihl ts 410 saw

Sounds like an overheating problem.
Are you working in a well-ventilated area or in direct sunlight?
Check, if you can, the temperature of the motor case.
You might have to take a break more often.
This hot summer has stressed a lot of motors and electronics.
When it shuts off you know it is trying to save itself from burnout.

SOURCE: I have a stihl ts-410 cut off saw. it will start and idle but when i squeeze the throttle it dies. how do i adjust the carb?

if this machine ran ok before this problem,and no one has adjusted the carb,then i would check the crank seals.i have just had this problem.and it was the seal on the puller side,though i replaced both whilst i was at it.hope this helps my freind.

SOURCE: stihl ts 350 super cut saw died in the middle of cutting a brick

i am doing one right now (ts350). I had no spark. 2 problems there. I had to replace on/off switch do to dust making it malfunction. still no spark so I had to replace the Ign. module. got great spark now. It's not cheap either ($226.00 canadian) had to order it from a dealer. Now I have no fuel getting to the cylinder so I have more work ahead of me. I hope this helps if you only have a no spark problem. It's about a 6 on the skill level.
