What do you think, I need to replace some gaskets? 
I finally got around to assessing the damage to the MS880 in the shop fire. Crank, cylinder and piston, carb, and maybe the clutch are still good. Ignition might work, but a little charred. Finding a case and all else would create the possibility of getting the saw working again. The plastic was all melted and fused together, kind of a pain to get it disassembled, taking most of a day and the pry bar was my friend. It didn't smell too good either. I foresee a lengthy project, but do hope to have it running one day. The saw only had a few hours on it milling. Wonder if Stihl could provide an assembly excluding what I have to use, it seems like a big hassle to order parts separately. Dealers around here are pretty useless too, or they want to rob you.
