Stihl MS881! The rumors begin

[Absolution]

Ohhh boy, I hope it's not a disappointment.
Edit: looks like it's gonna be a carb saw.

Ok thanks for pointing that out, interesting saw nontheless. Probably has to do with the expiring of some Husky patents they can finally design it like this.

I'll keep an eye out for any new patents related to the 881. I did notice lately they have been applying some patents which use a 084-ish chainsaw for illustrative purposes.
This is the one I mean and it was used a lot right before the 084 originally hit the market:

Well farmer tec just made a post on Facebook about an 888* (assuming 880) kit.

Don't want to thread jack I'll delete it if so.
But, I got some pictures of the Clone 880.

Fingers crossed, the parts look good from what I see, I hope they fit together.

I wonder if I could get one in the white so I could polish and powder coat it clear.....

Edit: I'm gonna post updates of the 880 clone in the 660 clone sub-forum as not to junk this thread.

For sure the name is 881 and the saw is carbed no fuel injection for the big boss...sorry all i can say for now

I have some informations:
I found something in the stihl parts catalog:
Stihl MS 881 (Z) - parts no. starting with 1124

This makes me think the MS 881 will be a reworkes MS 880
Like the MS 460/461
And no Mtronic.

That’s cause ms880 is already good with current regulations but there are more into 881.

Hey Norman you reveal too much...

But you are SOLID in your posts. I m waiting some very specific information i ve asked about the saw.

Maybe they opened up the clearance on the cases so a new 136cc cylinder can be installed with new porting. Going from regular carb to mtronic wouldn’t be very hard either change the coil add the solenoid controlled carb and there it is.

Don`t forget the flywheel. M.Tronic always has a 2nd pair of poles on the flywheel.

I doubt that. If anything the stroke will be shorter and require a new jug to match timing.
