880 defect

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Tried posting this earlier on iPhone but seems not to have launched?

 

Anyone else experienced this with 880? Mate reckons it's common, shop where purchased said they've never seen it before (that was just after saying "we don't keep them in stock and very rarely sell them." Like I didn't know that, perhaps that would explain how the "we've never seen that before" comment is nonsensical because you don't sell any!

 

Only a couple of hours use from new.

Hi KEVIN how old is it mate thanks Jon

It's only done 5l of fuel from new Jon! It's warranty work but I'm without it until the weekend and I need it tomorrow!

 

 

Bloke in the shop asked if I'd dropped it! I don't have a lot of "cool" anyway but that lit the touch paper. I told him I was more likely to drop the baby than drop a new saw!

 

He's sent me a text since saying he'd been on to Stihl tech desk to see if it's a known defect. Surprise, they said no, but mate I was working with today suggested it was common fault.

Do you know of defects like this with new saws? Apparently, Sthil tech desk say it's not a "known" weakness? I think I'd be more inclined to believe the user experiences of AT!

I'll have to fall back on the 576 til it's fixed Jon. That's had a hard working life and never missed a beat!

My work partner was on his 661 Jon, he really rates it. Plenty of grunt but not so lumpy as the 880.
