STIHL MS 880

[ELECT6845]

After searching numerous thread the question still remains, are the 880 carbs limited? Some say yes and some say no. 361 coil or 441 coil why we are on the subject?

They are limited but depends what limits the use you do.

Ignition coils from those 361 would work to the later 880 models
If old model then put an 088

084 carb? Is there a way to change the nozzle or jet in the 880 carb to eliminate the limit?

Best I remember it’s like an auxiliary jet in some that you can’t lean out far enough to get any rpms. Have to plug it and drill smaller

If all this is for a stock saw you better get a builder to port it. You ll get response and power more than you think

I don't remember the 880 carb being limited, just that the latter ones are smaller. I could be wrong.

I'm porting it. Only a few guys run them in this area so that's why I have the questions. Thanks for the help

2017 model 880. Installed a 361 coil in it but it will not go over 12,000 even if the high speed is shut off. Saw runs awesome but I do believe it could use more rpm. I could be wrong.

Newer walbro is smaller than the older tillys. I would assume the boot is smaller as well.

I have seen one version of the Tillotson that was at”0” for an H setting. That was on an older 084. Which carb is on the saw?

Better follow the advice of this gentleman blsnelling

He is a known builder you can’t go wrong if you listen

He's been around the block a few times himself

Yes carb and boot are smaller on your 2017 saw.
Use a boot and a carb from an 088
