MS660 & MS460 Air Filter upgrades

Ok, so here goes for your latest bit of chainsaw awareness!

These are only my findings so if you think your saw is fine then dont bother, but i want my 660 to last a few years!

My 660 is just over 2 years old now and has always let lots of dust through the filter screen.

On asking the dealer, they always say either thats how they should be, or fit a new filter.

When you see the pics below you will se why i have been concerned.

For those who want to care for their saws, there is a pre-filter available for these filters, and also a heavy duty filter that is said to overcome this problem.

The part number for the HD filter is 0000 120 1654 and is available at around £18 +vat.

The pre-filter is 0000 141 0300 and comes in just less than £4! This will fit either standard or HD filter.

For your information, do with it as you see fit.

Many thanks to guys in "The House"

Mine has a felt band round the filter, seems fine.

In jersey we had a foam insert that went inside the air filter & a band that went around the outside of the airfilter what a big difference it made.

The foam insert is part of the HD filter Ross. When fitting this, the deflector shown in pic #4 is discarded.

Seems i didnt explain myself very well:sad:

next you will be onto these

I have the same problem with my MS341 after only a few hours use after it's been cleaned

I've just recently installed the HD filter to the O66, big improvement. Will get oen for the 460 when I'm next at the shop.
