Today's project is a STIHL MS 880 that's in for a carburetor upgrade.
The customer wasn't satisfied with the performance of the Walbro carburetor and wanted to switch to a genuine Tillotson carburetor instead.
Why make the change?
✅ Improved throttle response
✅ Less restrictive airflow
✅ Better overall performance
Since genuine Tillotson carburetors for the MS 880 are getting harder to find, this upgrade is becoming more desirable for owners who want to get the most out of their saw.
The new carburetor is going in along with the necessary components to make sure everything is set up correctly before final tuning.
Every repair is done with attention to detail because the goal isn't just to get it running—it's to get it running right.
