MS660 & MS460 Air Filter upgrades

[18 stoner]

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:
