I am freshening up my dad's 044 a little for him and have some questions on the air filter.
THe dealer told me the replacement filter for this saw is part # 0000-140-4402. It looks like a gauze-only element that says "Stihl HD System" on the rubber peripheral part.
The filter that was in the saw was three pieces. An element that resembles the new one, part # 0000-120-1600, a blue foam filter that goes on the inside (no part number on foam), and an outer felt wrap, part # 0000-141-0300.
My question is, was the filter designed changed? Are the felt and foam supposed to be used with the new filter? The old system is obviously much more robust with three layers of protection.
Is the felt outer ring still available? Dealer was saying no, but I have caught them on technicalities before.
THe foam will fit in the new one and is like new after cleaning.
Thanks for any info.
