How a MS880 should come from the factory: Video

I've got a MS880 here for mods. The first order of business was getting rid of the rev-limited coil and carb. The coil was replaced with a new one for a 088. The carb was replaced with one off a 084, ultrasonically cleaned, and a kit installed. The only other mods so far was to the muffler. I simply extended the factory deflector and enlarged the exit hole several times larger than it was. Even with the spark arrestor screen replaced, it's still probably flowing as much as the deflector will allow. I've got the saw tuned to 13,000 here. The chain could use a touchup, but you can still see how the saw's running. It's wearing a 36" .404 full-comp RSC chain.

EDIT: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE CARB ON THIS GENERATION OF 880.

Did this saw possibly come from TX?....

From that vid and my experience with the 880 i think a 3/8 full comp and a 8 pin would be quicker.

That really should be some saw when completed.

It will get 404 .063 full comp chain for now. Have a 24 and a 47 inch bar on hand.

Would like to try a 8 pin sprocket but the Stihl part is no longer available.

That's gonna be a nice saw Hal, great for those old hard liveoaks.

I run 3/8 on mine. All you need is sprocket tip 3003 650 2539 and an 8-pin rim, LINK. Is the 47" a hard nose bar?

There is a guy on e-bay selling long bars right now. He might have what you need. But you would probably have to change to a .404 sprocket.

Yes, it is a hard nose bar.

For fun I have been thinking about a 84 inch GB bar on e-bay now. Sure would be a conversation piece.

I do not want to go 404 sprocket one big reason it will not fit my cyclone wheel and there more than the woodland pro bar 179.00 vs 250.00 And Iam using this saw for milling black walnut mainly, need the smaller kerf.
