The air filter came stock on the saw when I bought it. My guess is it gave the saw more power ( better breathing). I would still like to know why Jonsered made the two models (630 Super and 630 West Coast) that are pretty much the same saw!Whiteindustries said:

Need to find a dealer in the middle.lol
We need to find a dealer that carried both.Funny you would think the West Coast model with the air filter/better breathing would put out more power???? I know on any other 2 stroke with more air flow/filter/jetting/porting/exhaust etc it livens the motor right up. Has on my sleds and dirtbikes anyways.

The West Coast models were/are Supers with a full wrap handle, and I believe the velocity stack air filters. My 670 WC originally (I believe) came with a K&N stack filter, which required a special air filter cover, which was missing from my used saw. I think that the same applies to the 630 West Coast, and the 930 West Coast. I recently received a Jred with a factory AF cover specially cut for a stack filter. Unfortunatley the filter appears to have been torn off, along with many other problems the seller neglected to mention.

Ask one of the saw builders about a piped saw, that'll tell ya alot about it. they're really not practical for woods saws, but racing, stick it on and go go go.calh said:

Take a look at post 15 and 25(by Knot Whole).calh said:Do you know why Jonsered made the West Coasts Models? Their appears to be very little difference between them and other models ie, 630 West Coasts and 630 Supers.
I don't know more than him.

I think that I misspoke regarding the stack filter & AF cover. I've seen air filter covers that work with a stack filter, but I don't think that either came stock from Jonsered. I got a look at an AF today, and it was hand cut. Maybe one of the West Coasts fellows knows.

Bee Tee distrubuting in California had the rights to west coast states for Jonsered, and (I believe) added the high-hat filter and full-wrap handles here in the states on the first models, copying what a couple of dealers had been doing for their customer's saws. It sold quite well, so they were able to contract for them right from Elux. Tilton eventually sold some, as did Jonsered SE in Charlotte NC. In my mind, all of the various labels and stickers applied to the 630 and 670's were mostly marketing. At the same time that Tilton was selling the 630 and 670 "supers" or gold-label classics, the old SE Jonsered distributing was just calling them 630 and 670. Like any product that has been made for a long period of time, the Jonsered saws evolved a little, but all of the saws made during any period of time will be pretty much the same.
Isn't it interesting that the old SE Jonsered distributing was at the same address as Husqvarna, USA's offices?

The 670 West Coast did come with the stack and special filter and full wrap handle. I threw away the filter that came with it and added this K/N.
It was intended to be used on fire departments and to fight forest fires I believe, hence the special air filter
Here is the saw in its current form

Eyolf & Huskyman, thanks for the info! Do either of you know if the West Coast versions came with an air filter cover designed to accomodate the stack filter, or were they either hand modified or simply left off altogether? Thanks in advance.
Chris J....Once you run red & black, there's no going back.

I bought my 630 west coast new back in the late 80's and it came from the dealer with the stack filter and no cover. I am sure it came from the factory that way. Their are a couple of pics in a previous post.

I got my saw used, it came with the stack and modified cover for use with the stack. I am trying to remember the filter that came with it, I remember it had a really big green foam outer ring and an inner filter, I like the K/N I have now better, though I admit it would be a pain in professional use because getting sawdust out of it takes some work.
As far as the muffler studs, I have not had any problems with it the way it is without a support bracket. The muffler stays on nice and tight, though again, this is not a saw that is used everyday or in a professional application

Sorry to dredge up and old thread but I have the same/similar question. I have a 630 Super and have been told I need a new top end. I am wondering if I can put on a Husq 61 cylinder without changing anything else. In scattered places around the net I've seen vague comments about needing to replace other parts too, like the cover or carburetor.
Also read I may not need a new cylinder, just a new piston. All I know is the compression is down to 40 psi or so, it hasn't been disassembled. I'm on a very very very very very low budget so would like to do the work myself and save as much as possible. I've never replaced a cylinder or piston on anything in my life, but how hard can it be? (famous last words).

the 630 is closed transfer p/c & cylinder arrangement , the 61 is open.closed port system =
more power

That usually is true, and certainly is in this case.
The closest Jonsered counterpart to the 61 was the 625, not the 630.

OK I really should haven't used this thread for my post, because you guys are replying to the 11 year old portion of the thread and I'm pretty sure that fellow has solved his problems by now.
My problem, happening right here in October 2016 is that I'm wondering if there are Husqvarna alternatives for my Jonsered 630 cylinder that needs replacing.
