I recently bought an used Stihl 088, that I plan to use for milling and falling the trees I will mill. I will probably mostly mill hardwoods, between 2 and 3ft in diameter for my woodworking projects.
After considering asking someone to port it (but it doesn't seem to be done a lot in Europe), watching a lot of videos on Youtube and reading many threads on this forum, I decided to have a try myself. I have no experience about this or tuning motors in general, I only muffler modded my MS261.
It may look risky, but as an engineer who likes experimenting with things I must say I am as much excited by this projet that by my milling plans !
I start this thread and I intend to post some updates about my work and my findings along the way, as it may have an interest to others beginners as myself, and I would gladly accept some advice too. It will also force me to document what I do.
