The New MS880 AS Compared To An 088

[big t double]

That's cheap compared to the clutch that I bought for the 090

And these have not come down in price either.

Hopefully I don't ever have to buy another

I love the smell of Blendzall caster oils. Reminds me of my youth racing motocross.

Now the sad part. I bought a bottle a few years ago and have been known to put a little in my mower from time to time to experience the smell again. I just don't trust it in my saws.

Kind of a sad way to relive my youth. I suppose there are worse ways to remember the past.

I bought two cases of gallons to use in my 1999 Polaris XCR-800 as an injector oil. I used it in this capacity in temps down to about -15*F. After mixing some in gas and see it slowly separate, I went back to Polaris VES. I use it in my saws in the summer, and there is no reason you can't use it down to about +30*F, it will mix. Also, this won't gum up the rings like straight castor.

I mix it with 100LL and it smells great. I bet it would smell even better with race gas, but the Polaris shop wants about $13 per gallon of 110.

I paid less for my 034 super than that 090 clutch

 

[big t double]

**** I don't doubt that!!! I'd trade a 034 for a 090 clutch hahaha.

This is the rule I use with oils. Any OE oil (Stihl, Husky, Echo, etc) I use 40:1, with other oils (Belray, Motul, Maxima, etc) I use 32:1.

I buy my oils on ebay.

i do some where between 40 and 32-1 stihl oil. never had a problem. that 044 jug i showed you has super high hours.........however, i never tune a saw to scream. maybe i would get more out of one a bit leaner but just can't make mah self do it.
i chuckle just a bit when y'all talk of these fancy oils lol.

$60 for an OEM 084/088/880 piston???!!!!

Dealer cost on a top end was $263 back in '06.

VES GOLD is probably the best smelling stuff I know of besides 927.
Used to run that or Techniplate in my 583 Formula Z. I still have a qt of the VES left. You say you run the VES in yer saws?
I thought it was a TCW3 oil?

 

[Nitroman]

Oh no, I use the Blendzall in my saws and went back to VES in my snogo's. I still have a couple gallons of Blendzall left. Between those and the two cases of Husky Super-synthetic I bought of eBay a couple years ago, I am set for at least a year or so.

Since P/C clearance was mentioned............

Did the 084/088/880 series ever have the A , B, A/B piston and cylinder sizing used on lots of other sthil saws?

 

[Mad Professor]

A bit off topic.......

But since stihl parts prices have come down anybody have current price for 026 (44mm) and 034 (46mm) pistons?

They should.

Yes, that same sizing applies to these saws as well.

The pistons here are all A/B
