Ms881 chainsaw questions

[kneedeepinsaws]

Does anyone own one these?

do they have a fully adjustable carb? I see holes in pictures for low high and idle
How is the anti vib compared to the husky 3120?
Does the air filter work well on this model? I have heard poor reviews for stihl air filtration, but i am curious to know how well they filter.

-Carb with limiter caps
-vib System is the them as the 880, maybe the rubber is softer or harder IDK.
-air filter system is nearly the same as the 880

Interesting.
From what I have watched on youtube from people that have actually handled the 881, it is not fuel injected. They claim it is a 2mix engine and from what I looked up that just means “strato”. Sorry im a husky guy so I guess thats there version of xtorq.

Ferris mentioned that it has a carb with limiter caps, but in a video that i watched the guy said there was a “diagnostic port” for gathering running information. To me that screams mtronic but with ferris’s statement and the fact that i have seen the H L holes on the side of the saw in pics/video it cant be mtronic.

What i didnt know before i posted this was that its not a stocked item and seems to be a European thing right now. I thought they were readily available, looks like they are not

You think it’ll be a big improvement over the 880?

 

[Lee H]

I have limited time on my 880 and no time on the 881 so i couldn't tell you.
I will be able to do a side by side when the 881 arrives.

The saw has a diagnostic port and a regular carb

Neato, it must just monitor ignition then? time will tell when someone here gets their hand on one and pops the hood

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Yes just for information on saw just like the new 194t, standard carb with diagnostic port. Not much info on the 194 coils though seems to be just a few running data tests that can be done .
