Question 070 stihl

[kinderscout]

If i buy a 070 kit and a oem 090 piston and head have i then got a working 090 137cc.

The starter and clutch are bigger other than that pretty much. Good luck on the genuine 090 p&c !! When I say bigger clutch I should say more segments !

No.
Unless you go to the philipines and buy a new 070 ,then get an oem 090 p&p.
There are many threads on the American forums about
How to rethread the engine bolt holes to take the larger 090 bolts.
Lots of people were buying 070s swapping the engine and selling as an original 090.
Yes, the 090 has a six shoe clutch.

But frankly an 880 has more power.

Now i have done a bit more reading understand the 090 is 137 cc i thought it was 150 cc.
See where you are coming from with the 880.
The way the American sites go on about them being one of best milling saws.got me thinking.

I think stihl made 5, 090's with 160cc (ish)
For racing and demos.
You can probably find on YouTube.

088/880 more power ??? It depends how you look at it , on paper the 090 has 13 hp the 088 8.5 hp . The saws deliver that power in a very different way but if you adjust the speed flap on the 090 it will walk all over a 088/880. I' ve run a 090 a lot  with bigish bars ( I have 4 of them) and I've owned several 088/880s and still have an 084 so I know the real difference or should I say understand the way they act ? For milling it's hard to beat the raw "power" of the 090 .

Hmmm not sure about your HP figures.
Think you'll find they have approximately the same HP. (0.1 HP)
The main difference is an 090 is torque with lower rpm, great on bars over 6'.
But the AV is crap, weighs the same as a tug boat and parts can only be bought in hens teeth.
Great saw but it's a DinoSaw.
Not to mention you can't legally take it to work.
Hobby saw.
