The New MS880 AS Compared To An 088

[Deets066]

You got one a dem bad boys runnin yet

 

[Mastermind]

I've been busy with some NOS 346s.....

Sorta wanna get your piston, and compare the two.....

 

[Tree Sling'r]

Your liking the finger ports Randy, most saws getting them?

 

[Mastermind]

Not many really Jasha.

 

[Deets066]

Let me get this one back up to the top for ya Randy

 

[Mastermind]

Well, I never was able to compare the two saws side by side. The MS880 has gone home.

That would have been interesting to see, oh well. Let me know what I owe ya for that piston.

 

[Mastermind]

I don't even know yet Deets. I'll call tomorrow and find out.

I will tell you this......the MS880 with the smaller carb and boot was a bad dude. I tuned it to 13,000 with a 20" .404 and noodled up a pile of wood. Fun saw to run like that.

 

[Deets066]

I might try the 30" .404 that I have for it. It has the 8 pin on it now I beleive

Why not that 72" gb you got??

 

[Deets066]

Why not that 72" gb you got??

I usually reserve that for the 090, and it's an 84" Ted, Geeesh get it right

 

[big t double]

Welp...I never claimed to not be an idiot.

See my secret plan was going like this...you run the big gb bar on the MASTERMIND PORTED 088...rendering the 090 useless...you sell the 090 to ted(me) for an extremely good price since you no longer need it. How'd I do?

 

[Mastermind]

Repped

 

[VinceGU05]

if my MM084 that i got is anything to go by i reckon your chances are very high!

 

[Mastermind]

How's that saw doing for you Vince?

 

[VinceGU05]

so far so good.. well awesome actually.. a 36" bar fully buried in pine was nothing for it. sat 9 -10k in the cut
il send ya a vid link later.... i have a question about it.

 

[sawfun]

Sorry guys, I have a Masterminded 088 and wonderful as it is, it ain't gonna render a 090 useless on bars 72" and longer. It doesn't have the same torque and its oiler would not keep up. 84 + inch is getting into 090g territory. And NO 088/880 is gonna best one of those with a long bar.

 

[VinceGU05]

Is there much torque difference between geared and non geared?
Does a 088 have a manual oiler like a 084?

 

[sawfun]

There is a big difference in torque between a 090g and non "g" direct drive. What will easily stop a direct drive saw will not even slow a gear drive down, of course they are slow enough anyway. The gear drive 090's are a 2:1 ratio. Most are 106cc's but some like mine are the full 137cc's.

The 084 has an oiler overide adustment like the 3120, not a manual oiler. The 088/880 is only an auto oiler. Mine seems maxed out running a 60" bar.

Hey!...you're not helping my cause.
