Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[BlackCoffin]

Anything else wildly different than a 880 you notice? Or is it just new pretty plastics?

 

[broadwayline]

I honestly have not had much time to play with it - just started it up a few times - hopefully Friday we will put a 36" bar on her and let it eat and post some more info for you guys

 

[BlackCoffin]

Just to make it clear, if it is just new and pretty plastics I’m ok with that!

Very nice. OEM carb? Or any carb modifications? I thought I read somewhere an 880 needed a different carb to be made right.

OEM carb
Limiters modified
I thought so too ................ but I believe its safe to say that this saw does NOT suck !!

I’m sorry, but I’ve got to revise my answer to this question. We ran a tank through the 880 yesterday. I’m positive that it needs more fuel. Carb mods are scheduled ...............

The 881 has arrived in sweden and costs 300 bucks less than a 500i.

I’d take the 500i over the 881, knowing that my ported 880’s don’t suck

What do you have in mind? Curious as to what else they need or what’s available.

 

[Moparmyway]

The sky is the limit ........ but I’m determined to see if the stock carb will feed it’s hungry disposition

Does the 880 sprocket cover fit on the 881 and vice versa?
(They look similar)

I wish I could get the 881 now. Stihl USA and Canada, no listing as of yet.
Unless someone mails me one from the UK.

I’ve heard the 881 will be in the states fairly soon along with the 400

Kinda disappointed how they do all their videos, no real test cuts saw vs saw with a time. Just cut and show couple seconds in real time then speed video up and on to the next saw. Also very disappointed if what they have for specs is true at being of video, 8500 rpm the thing better hold all of it in the cut because it’s way down on chain speed vs the 088

 

[lehman live edge slab]

real specs on it should have known the 8500 was max power rating.

 

[ferris]

yes they do

Did u test the saw?
Like u said

I tested mine on a Stihl tach - 11 600 rpm is the limiter
