Is your chain too tight? You said your chain seized up from heat? Usually when a chain get hot it expands right? Jason Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I own a 441 and find it to be a great saw. I used to run Stihl bar oil exclusively , but after the reformulation a few years ago I heated up a couple bars when I thought I should not have... I have become a stickler for cleaning my bar groove of debi with a tool to promote better oiling and I...

I really enjoy my ms441c, lots of great innovative features. Those that have generally have great things to say about them. It will be at home with a pile of 24” rounds[emoji1360] Congrats on the new little one. My first born child was born a month ago I know how valuable barn time and or...

Cancer is bad... lost too many friends and family and I've adopted a new philosophy, and that is I used the least carcinogenic cleaner I can to get the job done. I would start with dawn dish soap in very warm water and a soft bristle brush like an old tooth brush. If I had to step up to carb...

Hey Brad, I'm not sure who "some" are but for me they work great at protecting the filter and allowing the main filter to do its job. I suppose like anything else they require maintenance and cleaning intervals proportional to the conditions the saw is exposed to. It's not a slap an outerwear...

I'm surprised Stihl doesn't offer these. I notice several off road ATV/dirt bike manufacturers use outerwear and out their name on the packaging. Stihl could totally market these outerwear Let us know how she fits and post up pics Jason Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I only run a 16 or 18 inch bar, so I didn't need the extra horse power that comes with the orange pre-filter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a thread on this recently with a part number for outerwear, search my posts. Jason Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Mild soap and water in a bucket, ring it out by waving your arm and let her sit for 24-48 hours in a ventilated are to AIR dry. Avoid the temptation to use an air compressor... I know I know I've done it, but plan ahead and service the filter when you won't need that saw for a couple days. I...

God bless all those past present and future that put their lives on the line for the safety and protection of others and the freedoms that make America special!! God bless those lost 9/11... you are not forgotten brothers and sisters Great thread, thank you love stihlquality. Jason Sent...

Thank Brad and your over seas brother for bringing this information to us. I love my ms441cm, but if your sawing more power less weight, I might just upgrade... because merica Thanks Jason Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nothing but positive results from "Outerwear" brand pre filters in probably 20 different applications over the years. Pertinent to this forum I am thoroughly happy with the pre filters from outerwear on my ms441cm and ms261cm. In my experience the pre filter allows the filter to do its job and...

Glad it worked out for ya. Outerwear has tons of products that will fit many more applications than their search engine dictates. Sometimes if you know the dimensions and shape of what you need they will have you covered just not referenced as an exact fit for your application even though the...

This is a a question that should not have a definitive, stead fast, blanket answer. If you lived in a very rural area and had a Husqvarna dealer in your town and nothing else for hundreds of miles well then when in Rome do as the romans. Mail ordering saw parts is not always easy, many...

I switched my saw fleet over to professional series saws from homeowner/"farm" grade saws a couple years ago and couldn't be happier. I currently have a ma261cm and ms441cm. For 15" wood you will be very happy with a ms261cm and 20" bar/chain. Great power to weight (more power and less weight...

Hard to beat a ms290 or ms291 for power and price. Of course advice depends on size of wood, saw experience/expectations, budget and lastly but very importantly dealer support/availability. I tend to be a stihl aholic but have great dealer support. I think there are several great saw...

I looked around and I think I found the part number I used. Outerwears part # 20-1114 They make a black and an orange pre filter. Hope this helps Jason Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
