How's this for a comparison?
Just got the 084 running today, and set it next to the MS 192 with a 10" carving bar and 1/4 chain. The 084 has a 36" bar with .404 full skip.
Here it is pulling the first chips after the rebuild. Saw was given to me with a toasted top end. The crank was OK, so I put new seals and a piston and jug on it, after full tear down and cleaning. I put on the newer carb, a HT 7A, which has a part load enrichment jet, and a main nozzle bypass jet, along with feeding the low side from the high side, which I guess is better since most of the carbs STIHL uses on saws now are set up this way. I put on the big loop starter handle from a suggestion someone mentioned here on AS, and when I went to start it the first time it nearly tore my hand off, even with the deco valve open. So I pulled the flywheel and set it on the second keyway, since I didn't remember which one it was in when I tore it down, and then it started right up!!!!
The muffler has two tubes internally that come out the side, so it is a factory dual port outlet with the screen inside where the two tubes start. I haven't seen one like this before.
The manual says 10,500 is the top speed and it will tune up to 12,000 real easy, but I set it back to 11,000 to run it in to be safe.
We have a huge old oak at church that we will be cutting up next month, about 40 to 50" DBH, so I will take some pics then and post them.
THALL can't have all the fun!
