MS880 CFB style

[Canadian farm boy]

A testament to everyone saying these saws are dogs out of the box, but can be turned into monsters! What sprocket were you running in those cuts?

It’s running a 7T .404 sprocket. It could easily run a 8T .404

I should also mention that in the stock video I had the saw tuned as lean as I could with carb limiters still intact. For the set up the owner uses the tune was still way to fat IMO.
After the port work and other mods the carb tuned at almost exactly 1 full turn out on both the L and H side. In the ported video I have the saw tuned to 13200 wot rpms. It will tune higher but I think 13200 is a good safe spot for a saw this size.

I think so as well. Heck I had my 880 running my 72” bar milling today. That poor 880 needs a bigger load than than that little bar can give it.

....I’m not nice to mine...smallest bar it sees us 41” and I lean on it hard. But the torque it has always amazes me!

Before and after videos. Everything is the same in these videos. The bar and chain are what the owner sent me with the saw. This is one of his typical set ups he uses on this saw.

After video

That saw runs well enough it doesn't even need a before video. Good job CFB!
