Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[RI Chevy]

I now have two 084's, one 088 ported, two MS880's one never fueled and this MS881,
I needed the whole heard, Why who knows,

Yes. But which one is your favorite? [emoji2957]

 

[jacob j.]

I don't need one nor do i need the 500 plus saws i have but i wanted it.

I can get behind that ideology...

[Lee H]

I have bars from 36 to 59 inch in Stihl rollatatic es or Cannon

 

[RI Chevy]

Wow Lee! So Nice. You getting used to the captive bar nuts yet? Lol
Will you keep it all stock Lee?

 

[Lee H]

Wow Lee! So Nice. You getting used to the captive bar nuts yet? Lol

This is the only saw i have with them.

Now to decide what bar to put on it. I have a nice piece of maple that's all of 48"
in diameter. So i may mount a 47" Stihl bar on her. This saw is set up with a
404 7 pin rim.

Does it feel lighter than 880/084

 

[jacob j.]

Wow, and I thought the 500i was ugly...

Just kidding Lee - that's a good-looking modern saw. I hope it's not as fragile as the 462/500i...

Hard to tell, All I've done is take it out of the box.

I think it's a good looking saw too. See if we get some good weather this
weekend and do some testing with it. Maybe run it against the MS880.

 

[Lee H]

So question, In the pic with the filter cover removed on the recoil side is a orange do dad
with what looks like a cover that can be opened. Is that the diagnostic port?

Maybe i should look in the manual, Ha who doe's that, We all know we just mount a B&C
and go cut, Right!!!

 

[lehman live edge slab]

Yes it is a diagnostic port, the ms194t also has one. Not a lot of information to gain off the 194 one from first glance. Let’s you do a running test to check coil and flywheel ect. Saw was new so didn’t look for hours or number of starts

 

[Lee H]

Here she is with a 41 incher with 404 full chisel round ground.

 

[Lee H]

And here is the MS880 to run it against, A very low hour saw, Ran good but now it's
flooding like a sum *b-word so i need to tear the carb down and check it out.

880 full wrap is such a beast - how are you liking your 81’ vs the 80’?

I got the full wrap on today
