560 filter performance

[john k]

Had that a couple of weeks ago. Haven't broken the pull start yet, but it's probably just a matter of time!

Mine's the same. I'll call my dealer tomorrow and see what he reckons.

 

Stubby, you seem to have had every problem possible with your 560 - what's your filter like and are you still running the stock one?[ATTACH]106160[/ATTACH][ATTACH]106161[/ATTACH]

 

Still running the stock yellow one . on my second as I poked a hole in the first one Doh! Might try and get the "high top" filter housing from an American 562 and fit the heavy duty flock filter . All my big saws run them .

Why don't they supply these as standard? There reducing the desirability of buying from them

Don't know why TBH . I have High top filters on 372,390,and 395 . . Find they work well .

I noticed the same on my 576 took it back to the dealer they rang husky & ordered the fine filter fitted it & the same fine dust in the filter

From my experience all there saws do this and so do all of stihls .. My old ms460 was so bad that I tried the hd filter and it ran an absolute bag of crap so I won't be trying an HD filter again... Spud has had my saws apart , one heavily used 357 that I was convinced with all this fine dust that had been sucked through over the years would need new rings/piston but it was fine.

So I'm not worrying about it at all!

My 13 year old 66 has always done this and still runs perfectly

 

I really can't see fine, soft dust being a problem.

I've found much the same with the standard mesh filters. Doesn't seem to do any harm, I'd be more worried if I was working in in very sandy, gritty environments but pure sawdust doesn't worry me too much

Yep I would say the same . As long as I can remember there has always been a fine oily dust in the throat of the intake I just put a bit of kitchen roll on my finger and wipe it out periodically.
