Big dogs on the bench today. New piston for the 661, as well as muffler mod, timing advance. He also brought me the 880 and told me to wake it up a bit. Any tips specific to the 880 to get easy gains? Maybe remove the flower sticker?

Clip on or bolt on exhaust?

Clip on or bolt on exhaust?

I think it’s a bolt on. It’s a 2018 model.

@Canadian farm boy has a nice write-up on the ms880. I followed his advice in that write up and my clone ms880 turned out very well. Snappy throttle response is very nice.

Here's a link for you.

Thread 'MS880 CFB style'

Feb 23, 2020

Been quite a while since I did thread. I figured it was time for one.
Here’s the victim. A bone stock, 1 year old MS880
This saw belongs to a local fella that uses it in his firewood/tree work arsenal. The biggest bar he uses on it is a 36” .404.

Picked up this MS460 yesterday, previous owner said the clutch flew apart when he started and revved it, im guessing drum wasn't on and clutch was already broke or missing a spring.
Lots of metal shaving and only an inch of brake band left.
Anyway I got it cheap and its low hour.

Is the case salvageable?

The brake band will be more difficult to save

I think so, will get a better idea once I remove whats left of the clutch, washer and oil pump.
Also not sure if a brake band will hold in place ?
