stihl air flilters

All my MS200T air filters are after market plastic jobs, easily cleanable on the job with a splash or two of gas.

 

I believe both Bailey's and Madsen's sell em on the west coast here.

 

I buy six at a time, and they hold up to cleaning with compressed air pretty dang good too IME.

 

I hate that paper flock crap!

I soak the felt ones in petrol and blow out with an airline, the rest, (Pleated paper/fine mesh) just get blown out with an airline, always blow from the inside to push the dirt out.

 

Regarding not using an airline, my Lantra workbook says to clean according to the manufacturers instructions, an additional warning note simply says to wear eye protection if the manufacturers instructions recommend using an airline.

 

FWIW on my 4 saws, the recommendations are to brush lightly/clean with a non flammable solvent on 2 of them and brush lightly/clean with airline on the other 2.
