562 High to filter for 560 .

[Stubby]

If the larger 562 filter makes no difference then why did Husqvarna make it ? I have converted my 560 to high top filter and cover and I don't know if its physiological or not but it does seem to zip up a bit more ..... I do have a MM and possibly other work inside but cant be sure on that as Pete was secretive about it !

Air injection, turbo,active air filteration does not force air into the carb space and does not increase power, it only pre cleans the air before being drawn into the carb space by the carb.

I agree! If it did force air in the winter running flap that you open to draw warm air over the exhaust and cylinder simply wouldn't work, air would go the other way.

Actually it does work, the air moving over the cylinder is at the same pressure, but then gets heated, which expands and creates a higher pressure. That's basic thermodynamics! If it didn't, it would cause a Venturi effect on the air box and draw air away from the cylinder.

Run a saw with the cover off, you'll feel the air being blown out of the tube, it's only slight, not like a turbo, but enough to feel!

Husky was based at Stonehouse but were pushed for space. First they farmed out the spares distribution to distri part at the flymo factory site. Then after a wordwide review of operations it was decided in England it was more efficient to have everything in one place so operations at Stonehouse were moved to the flymo factory. Construction are still at Stonehouse though.

 

 

this is incorrect. nothing to do with space but a decision to consolidate multiple sites in same countries into one single business unit.

 

The spares operation was moved for logistical reasons, reduce costs and to meet delivery targets.

 

Construction are not at stonehouse, this was closed years ago. its in gloucester.

The best part is he was correcting the guy from husky on the history of the company he (adw) has worked for probably longer than ady's been fixing machinery

The simple way to tell what the air filter and the air injection system does is to tach a saw with the top cover on. tach it with the top cover off and then once more with the air filter off.

 

See where the saw runs at the highest WOT revs and you have an answer.

 

I have done this on an MS200T once and it pulled another 1krpm showing that the air filter does reduce airflow and significantly so.

 

Having a larger airfilter will increase performance and will do more so when it has seen a few hours work when the smaller one would be fully clogged with chip and the larger one much less so.

 

Porting and MMs are all about improving the flow of an engine, the airfilter is another part of the equation.

 

Stubbys saw already has improved flow so reckon the airfilter mod should enhnce it some more!

All of stubbys saws are " enhanced " 3 of them down to spud ( Steve ) 1 down to petemate and one down to the Walker saw shop . Do it ! you know it makes sense

Seem to remember the 372XP had a high rise kit on it:thumbup: That is a beast of a saw:thumbup1:

Puttimg the 562XP air filter onto the 560xp and hey presto there is a power increase so the comments made are quite correct.
