The New MS880 AS Compared To An 088

The MS361 coil works like a charm.

Thanks for sharing that Randy. I'm glad to see that someone finally tried it. That's been kicked around forever now, but so few of these have been modded.

Less than .003

Well, let's not celebrate just yet.........I've only ran it for a few minutes. A more in depth test is coming.

Well, it's a good sign anyway.

im letting an 056mag ride at .0027 that the piston got the sand/buff treatment...but I have no choice. gonna try and test run this weekend if I get time. id like to think youll be ok....but I know theres more experienced guys on here than myself that work on/build saws...they should chime in.

What is the piston skirt clearance spec?

 

[big t double]

stand by...ill check and see if its stated in the 084 service manual, i think I gotta get the micro fiche machine out for that one. I don't see it given in the 880 service manual ...to be honest ive never seen it given in any stihl service book. IN THE MEAN TIME SOMEONE SMARTER THAN ME CAN CHIME IN!!! im just a dumbass parts guy.

Yo Brad......

You know that clearance spec?

 

[Mastermind]

For a Yamaha with a 60mm bore.

.0023

 

[big t double]

is that max? 084 book don't say...even checked 051/75/76 for poops and giggles...nothing.

 

[Mastermind]

That was just a clearance I found given for a new Wisco piston......60mm

I think we are in good shape on skirt clearance.

Rock'n roll

Are you using feeler gauge to measure?

 

[Mastermind]

Yes sir.

 

[mdavlee]

If I remember right Adam always said .0025-.003" is what you want. Shaun would know as well

Hello Belray

 

[redfin]

Hello Belray

You sure about that?

 

[Mastermind]

Well........I'm using Mobil One @ 32:1 right now. lol

The last three tanks through that 088 were belray at 32:1, before that it was 50:1 but always synthetic. It will be for sure 32:1 from here on out
