oh come on Andrew sharpen that chain :big_smile:
 
cool Andrew,some good burninin there,man that new 880 needs a muff modd bad

Funny you should say that about the new model 880 and its muff.
It belongs to my cutting partner and just yesterday he said to me that i think your 880 (old model) is ballsyer than myne.
The only thing i have done to my one is open the muff a little.
I find them hard to tune with the carb limiter,in fact it drives me nuts but a bit on the fat side is a good thing im thinking.:msp_scared:
I run it on 30:1 ish as well.:)

add another port and a 441 coil at least, and if he's real keen throw a084/088 carb and boot on:rock::rock::rock:
I run mine on 25:1 on stihl oil...............iknow,but that works for me:)

I think that's smart with the big fella's.

32:1 at the leanest with racing oil IMO, I'm using Motul's finest @ 30:1 in the 3120 here ATM.

As Matt found out when talking to the big Stihl dealer (can't recall their name ATM) when in Tassie a few years back that advised 32:1 at a minimum in 660 and up saws due to what they'd experienced.
IIRC they'd seen a big difference in wear between 660's running 30:1 vs 50:1 in pro use using Stihl oil.

I remember what the innards of your 25:1 660 looked like and it shows that stihl oil does the job - no problem there.

I agree, more lube (within reason) has to be a good thing IMO.
