ms880 pot & piston

[mendiplogs]

Had the same trouble last year.

No more than 50hrs use, same can/mix used for all my other saws.

 

I needed a new pot, piston, coil and something stihl forgot to mention, an extra bit of gizmo on the de-compression button that i think they forgot to put on that years saws...

 

Came to about £550 plus labour.

 

I was told that it was my fault for having the wrong mix?

 

I am pretty staunch when it comes to my mixes.

 

HI VTS old fuel can do same mate thats a lot to spend on a saw mate it running now yes jon

I have just opened a trade account with Garden Hire Spares. Has anyone direct experience of their pots and pistons? Good or Bad?

 

I have had a couple of pistons from them, One was fine and one I had to send back and get a refund because the piston didnt fit properly and I had a little issue with them selling the same piston at two different prices but this was an error apparently.

The last ones i bought off fleabay were from a seller called Tesgol who seems to know his stuff and sells a few different alternatives price wise.

Got a piston from GHS for my 650, no more than 5 hours use and a ring cracked, large chip in one of the transfers.

Finally bit the bullet and got a OEM pot and piston and alls been fine since

Try these for saw parts, they are trade only but will tell ou who your local dealer is.
