Chinese Chainsaw air filter help

[cornish wood burner]

I'm tempted to buy one of the 60cc saws and cane the arse out of it on an upcoming softwood thin just to see how it fairs. If it lasts a month it'll Of paid for itself.

My Chinese 58cc has done ok for me, but only my own fire wood. All its work has been with its 20 inch bar ( now worn out) buried in 40 inch softwood. Now on a better 18 inch husky bar but still cutting bar length most of the time. I did some timed cuts against two other saws and it wasn't particularly slow. About what you would expect/ cc against two basic husky saws. Its seems a bit thirsty though.

I need to improve the air filtration on my 62cc Timberpro Chilling saw (Chinese Milling ). the picture shows the stock filter which is far from ideal. I don't know if any major manufacturers filters would fit, or what can I do to help stop the fast clogging and carb choking dust build up. I have thought about replacing the gauze with foam / oil, but what do you suggest?

 

If you look on Ebay.com under Max Flo air filter material,& a seller Kstuff68, he sells (or did ) pieces of felt like material, that you can add or replace the existing filter material. Very useful on old saws where original filters are NLA

Buy a universal cooker hood filter for £3.99 and you can make dozens out of it.
