  1. They are for "heavy duty" (= dusty) conditions, where the filter surface will be partially covered by dust sooner. This means you can run a bit longer before you have to clean the filter. It also means that you can use "flocked" filters, without worrying if the saw is getting enough air.
  2. Only if the low filter doesn't offer enough availiable air.
  3. I highly doubt that, at least with mesh filters - but there is of course a way to find out for sure If there already is enough air availiable, it doesn't help to make more air availiable.
  4. No to both - but I am on a few chainsaw forums.
  5. Pretty much my thoughts as well - and it sounds like it could be the tank vent. If it helps to open the fuel cap when it is acting up, it is the vent, if not it isn't.
  6. Those were made in different colors - but most of them were red and silver.
  7. Looks like an XG. Jonsereds XG
  8. This is an earlier saw than the 621 - the possible candidates are the 60, 601, 75 and 751 - before we study the details..... My intuision tells me it most likely is a 75 or a 751, but I don't remember the differences between those.
  9. Almost (the real pitch is .366, not a true 3/8" or .375) - but then the 14" (called) bars are a bit less than 13"...
  10. The carbs I have seen have been clearly marked with model number, but I don't remember exactly where.
  11. Does the saw happen to be one of those with a EL46 carb? Those are known to some times act up, and soon was replaced with the EL48. If the spark arrestor screen still is there, and haven't been cleaned regularly, it very likely is the culprit though. I always remove those, as there are no need for them here.
  12. Staying away from that model in the first place is of course a much better idea - but each to their own....
  13. Huskys bar factory has been operational for decades in Norway, but "solid" bars never was made there - only laminated ones (far from all of them), and lately the TechLite bars. It is their chain factory that is supposed to become operational in 2015.
  14. I agree, it isn't unusual to do so at all, and I can't see anything wrong with it....
  15. "Secret posts":confused1: - this hardly can be very secret, as it is about cheap saws anyway????? I don't know what your intension is, but the way you do it isn't a good sign......
  16. They still exist, but now is branded as Carlton (Carlton never made bars themselves).
  17. I understand it is in France - but is rebranded Oregon stuff by now......
  18. If you have to go with a cheap Stihl, at least go to the 211, and make sure you are not getting a c-be version!
  19. I'm not hoping anything here - and I'd like to see the handlebar and the top of saw.......
  20. As far as I know, the 036 always was heavier than the MS361, but not by that much. However, I don't know how much crud etc was in the 036 that you put on the scale - your numbers doesn't add up with known facts anyway, as they would mean the 036 weighted like the MS460..... Regardless, even the (often optimistic) specs tell that the 6100 is hefty for a 60cc saw, and KWF confirmed it in their test. Discussing it is fruitless. The MS362 and the PS6100 are the heavyweights in the 60cc class, unless you bring the Echos into the discussion.
  21. It doesn't look like the case is broken, only the extesion from the fuel tank. However, I agree that it looks like considerable force have been applied to the handlebar - or there was a weak point there.....
  22. More like a starting point for conversion to 372xp, when they didn't sell those in the US (they eventually brought a few pallets of 372s in anyway, to cool down the worst panic in the market, but didn't promote them or list them as availiable). As we know now, the 575xp failed, and the 372xp found its way back into the catalog and website.....
  23. I know just enough about the 9010 to know that it wouldn't be on my candidate list if I needed a 90cc saw.
  24. There are no indications that it is - rather the opposite, starting with halv a kg extra weight....
  25. Pro-lite bars for that application has "always" existed in 3/8", as well as Power Match + there are of course more sourses than just Oregon. I believe the large mount 362xp saws really was a "US special", and really was the 372xp with a 362xp top end - but I have been wrong before.... It happened the year they attempted to replace the 372xp with the 575xp (2005).
