Filters

[Jacob J.]

So no one has experienced the problem I had?

Take a paper clip or a feeler gauge and see if there is space between the filter and the saw. The foam covers the gap thus no saw dust can go through,(I guess) but there was indeed a gap on my set up..

Most guys toss those spitback guards. They impede flow and don't add to the longevity of the saw.

Are you running it on a 66? Some more modification may be necessary to make it work right. Cody mentioned something about it to me the other night, maybe he'll chime in - Sam

I've been running green for a month or so, ever since I tore my last white one, with no problems.

At a cap full per week I have enough of the blue stuff to last a good while, but I'll keep it in mind.

Bark on both sides, does tha mean, uh, mediocre timber?
Hope you're well.

Busy as ####, and you can damn near throw a chip that long in buttery soft Ponderosa, lol - take care - Sam

056...Missed JJ's post..that's what I believe Cody was talking about, give it a shot

A 660 yea. You have to cut some plastic around the perimeter of the faying surface, but that is all they mention. Mine will seal with or without the spit back deal, I can't remember if I have it in or not. When I first put the saw to work it liked to load up if you let it idle, pull the trigger and it would die. It would act right if I leaned out the low end enough, but then it sounded too lean on deceleration, so I left it a bit rich. After the rings seated it quit acting funny all together. I wonder how my handy work compares to a real port job in terms of power?

I went back to running velocity stacks with a foam filter a couple years ago. I do the like the Max-Flo though, just think I get more air with the "green weanie' set up.

Green Weanie

The green weenies can be changed quickly in the field. I found a wing nut type of hose clamp at the RV dealer, works great.

Any chance one of you could post up pics of the Max Flo set up ? Ive found the standard Stihl filters ok as long as you pay close attn to mounting it and of course checking it throughout the day.
The only saw Ive really had problems with was my 3120 which was solved by switching to Husky oiled filter.
Any one tried the slip on pre filters Brad Snelling uses ?

I haven't run that particular filter, but I have a feeling it would have the same troubles the HD2 filters do without a pre-filter. I don't doubt that it would flow some air, though!

EDIT:

Also, regarding velocity stacks, I'm not sure that they actually provide MORE air; what I am sure of is that they provide air at a higher velocity, which will equate to better turbulence, which will in turn keep air/fuel mixture in suspension longer, and result in a cleaner burn and more complete combustion. This description of the Venturi Effect is perhaps a bit long-winded, but clearly shows that pressure and velocity are inversely related on both sides of the venturi, and that on the "inside", pressure is lower and velocity higher. It's pretty easy to see how that would translate to better power in a 2-stroke application where power is all generated at WOT.

Kindly correct my misconceptions, please, if I've misunderstood anything.

Any ideas on where i could get a velosity stack for a 046?...im building one right now...and was going to use a maxflow kit but i might try a velostiy stack kit if i can find one.

PM me you address, I have a few. On a 046 you will need some spacers or just use 044/440 studs. The 046/460 studs are longer.

Jasha, how do run the v-stacks in the rain?

 

[HILLBILLYREDNEC]

Saw filter?

I use a couple roll pins for spacers. Rain is a issue to some, me if it is raining I use half a plastic coffee can screw on to the upper carb box.

I always pack a spare foamie, but then again if it is raining that hard, I just go home.

CLEAN YOUR GOBBLEYGOBLLY SAW!!!!


:hmm3grin2orange: j/k man.

What's a good source for the greenie's? and anyone make Vstacks for Husq's 3120xp? or do I need to make my own?

You oil the greenies? how often/do you clean them etc?

Never oil them, just throw them in with the work clothes and wash them that way.

Just curious but how do you start that saw?

I, uh...


... too easy, I'll pass.
