Mastermind Meets The Stihl 088

[luckydad]

i hope you do better on this 088 than you did on my ms880 (mastermind meets the ms880 thread, i don't know how to link it) ..

for those of you who don't know, last june or so i sent my 880 to randy so he could put one of those stickers on it..
wewll, somehow the wires got crossed, and he ended up tearing my saw all apart, ground a buncha metal outa it, made it loud, then he sent it back to me,.....without a damn sticker on it ????
that was the whole reason i sent it to him in the 1st place !!

i guess the only good thing is that the saw is actually lighter now than it was when i sent it !!


no, i did'nt forget about the mill randy.

He done did the same thing to me on my LITTLE 200T !!:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

Been raining and freezing here long enough I thought I saw an old bearded midget building this huge boat.

Fixed it.

Musta been SS or some midget in Canada.

None Dennis. I just (sort of by accident) found that a wider squish seems to run better on the same engine with all else being the same.

Talk to me.....what are your thoughts? You know I'm open minded and all about learning.

First........How much wider is the cut squish?......Is it a tapered cut?.....If so how much?

Lookin' good, Randy.

He's not really stuck inside, just afraid he'll melt!

sh** doesn't melt,, it floats

I took .060 out.....it's only tapered at the edge of the chamber.......a few thousandths.

With .035 it's blowing 190psi.

I know this is the wrong thread, but this is the best place to put our ol' buddy Randy on the spot....... so are we gonna see a build thread on this new echo top handle saw?

Yes we will.

190 is spot on in my opinion.i also like the greater squish but i think there would be a point that it gets to great of a span and wont have good flame travel.

Lookin good Mr. Randy, That lathe work is pretty neat. Didn't know you could do that to one. That one ought to be a bad boy.

Whats it cost to mod a 088 or 880? If there is a noticable difference i maybe interested.

I totally agree with everything you just said.

I'll have to say that the engines I've been putting extra squish in some to run better. They idle smoother and just seem to run better. It's tough to explain.....but I think you know what I'm saying.

Same here.

The 088/880 is one of the most noticeable differences. They go from boring to fun to run.

I get 250.00 on these too.....plus shipping of course.

Here's a few shots of the jug after slicking it up.......

I like to take the plating out of the transfers and do a little reshaping to help direct flow.

Also the uppers are raised and aimed toward the intake side more acutely.

That squish energy is magic! I'm just learning about saw engines but my first experience with creating greater squish energy was just what you're seeing. They run BETTER! In every way.
