I heard that you cant get pattern cylinders for 88s

You can't order or join that company jammy, they are USA only and don't ship abroad. You can't order anything or view the online shop until you register and to do that you need to be in USA.

 

Could try contacting them I suppose?

HI JAMMY if you dot mine me asking what did the saw cost mate jon

[mendiplogs]

Bought a 2002 088 today minus the cylinder thinking a new p and c would be about £150 just had a quick search and it looks closer to £350

 

What are my options apart from chucking it to the back of the container ?

 

HI JAMMY thats jammy/jammy you no what i mine mate:thumbup1: nice one:thumbup1: jon

HI MATE whats wrong with the ms880 hope my new is ok if not it will go back jon:thumbup:

 

Hi Jon, I've been using them for about 20 years, including the 084, they tend to start to lose compression prematurely, from new they will be ok for the first two years then they start to have tickover and starting problems, ive tried the usual fixes and rebuilding, the MS660 is a far superior saw. Good luck!
