i did hear of a problem recentl with iffy crank seals on the ms880 , a local guy had a similar problem , when he tok the saw back to the dealer they blamed it on using Bio oial other than Sthil's own bio oial as it was to thin !!! however strangley they agreed to fix the saw FOC !!!! how strange !! its just a shame the husky 3120 in not alot of cop !!!

we are still on our first tank of fuel and we have only been running her at half revs so it is nothing to do with running in. . . will look into the crank seal though
