i thought the same thing when i got mine..
after a few more tanks of fuel it seems to be getting stronger..
how many tanks of fuel have you run through it ??
also, this post would get more attention if you posted it in the chainsaw forum ..

Break in, muffler mod, tune carb. Some of the 880 carbs are limited and you may run into a problem there, or not.
Sent mine to Brad Snelling. After an 084 ignition and non limited carb and just a bit of porting, he was able to have it turn 13,200 RPM with stock being 10,500.
The ignition I bought new from my local dealer and the carb from e bay. Also bought a kit for the card, that was put in.

Nothing but 32:1
Are you talking about the latest version with the stainless 2 piece muffler?

Wolf, your 880 has an 088 coil, not an 084.
Ok, sure thought I had ordered a 084 part. Either way, it has a non RPM limited coil.

Not sure what you can do but I do agree that the 880 was not impressive to me. I don't know if I was expecting to be blown away because of the CC's or what, but I was disappointed. I know Gink595 just had his ported because he wasn't happy with his.Link to Ginks Profile
To clarify though, the 880 is by no means built to be a screamer. It is a torque MONSTER and seems near unstoppable under even the heaviest of hands.

Hal, the 088 and 1st version 880 use the same polymer flywheel which only work with unlimited-1124 400 1309 and limited-1124 400 1301. Just thought I would enlighten you lol. :monkeyn:

I don't know about that Mark, it seemed to bog down fairly easy I had to be light handed with it, if I didn't get a screaming deal from a friend I would have sold it.
I had Eric Copsey port mine, I haven't got it back yet so I haven't run it but from what Eric says it pulls a 10 pin just fine now. When I get it back I'll get a big bar on it and go cut some large maple rounds and give it a good run through.

Frank, a pipe would make it faster 
Ive never ran a woods ported 100CC saw. Isnt that a shame? But I prefer the 90ccs.

I'm not to interested in racing this saw, I don't think I'll ever make a pipe for it. It will go to some GTG's but that's about as good as it gets for that one! Eric said it is capable of some faster time's if I ever want to turn it up.
I think a piped alky 120cc would be tons of fun!
Any machining work done to it? You should try it with a long bar.

Oh ok, I think I've given up on buying an ms880 myself. Right now I'm just looking to build a hot woods 036. :thunder:
