Ts 510 cut off saw crank oil type and capacity

There could be a few problems. Check the air filters and make sure that no holes are present in them. Then check to make sure the unit has compression. A general check of the compression for a Stihl unit is to hold the unit up by the rope and it should hold itself up. If it slips down really quick or if it does not hold itself for more than a couple of seconds before the rope starts coming out, then the unit is low on compression and will need a new piston and cylinder.
Also another thing to check is the carburetor. With the new fuel with ethanol/methanol in it, it can damage parts in the carburetor. The sealant that went over the welch plugs will come off and it will flood the unit out because there is no regulation of the fuel going into the engine. You can try putting new sealant, such as clear fingernail polish over them, and see if it holds and will regulate the fuel correctly. If the air filters have holes in them then the low compression could be caused from dirt ingestion and it could have caused wear on the main bearings. You can check for bearing wear by seeing if the flywheel or the clutch will move up and down and sided to side. If this is the case then you will need to purchase a new unit.

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.
