Something new will come along soon. Maybe a Tsunami ?, or Lahare ?, Volcano ?, Typhoon ?or some other type of disastrous product . . .

The issue of whether we should be sending our money to China was decided years ago by our elected officials in DC. It's waaaay too late to do anything about it. Ask yourself how long Walmart has been in business. Enough already.

If there is another WKY GTG this spring, I'll bring my Earthquakes, I really think someone should build one and embarrass some of those high dollar saws.

Should probably get hold of the boss and see if he is going to have one. You could do one of yours really hot and then auction it off.

My latest modification to the little Quake. I checked for air flow and didn't find a way for any significant amount to get in there. I used some tubing to go from the air filter base and made a straight shot up into the new filter. I extended the stock mounting bolt up far enough to even use the same nut to hold everything on.

I haven't had an opportunity to run it yet, but I will post the results when I do.

There is an inlet, it's under the carb adjuster screws. It's hard to see from above but if you remove the recoil cover you can see it.

Going to town Wed. gotta go measure the diameter of the filter base.:msp_wub:

When I took off the recoil, I noticed some ducting molded into the cover that made it look like the flywheel fan drove air into the carb box.

Am I crazy?

Does the Redmax design have this as well?

I saw that one but wasn't impressed with the size of it. The carb having a straighter shot from the filter should also help some as well. The way it sets up gives it more than one inch of straight run the same size as the carb throat.

I'll try to take better pictures tomorrow so you can see how it all goes together. If I do another one I will just cut out the air filter cover to let the new air filter sit right on top of the intake. That would have been MUCH less trouble.

Hey o8f150 - maybe next time, start a "Dissecting a STIHL 461" thread, or a Dissecting a Husqvarna 576XP thread? I'd like to get a couple of those for $30!
