No ,nothing gets past the filter,just a small buildup around the carb,very small stuff,as long as the chain is sharp.
I suspect that it indicates that the torque curve drops off more rapidly after having reached its peak than it does for some other saws of newer construction.TonyM said:The MS460 weighs in at 4.4kW @ 9500 RPM and 5.4Nm @ 6750. Kind of surprising. It doesn't have as much power as the others, but does have more torque.

Ask your local dealer for a "winter" or snow filter. It is the silk-screen style filter and requires much less cleaning and promotes greater air-flow. If you cannot get these from your local dealer or they have no idea what you are talking about, I will supply the part number later.

Lot's of guys use them on the 200T because they can pour gas though them and they are clean. Every one I get in for service with these filters has fine junk inside the carb, and it's getting into the engine. It is also available for the non-HD 064 and 044... and every one I get of those has piston slap from intake-side skirt wear.
Personally, I wouldn't use them unless you are having trouble in snow. If they were any good, they would be fitted to all saws all year...
blis said:awww, poor stihlist... you know, huskies run in 1 meter deep snow all fine with standard filter :hmm3grin2orange:
Lakeside53 said:Stihl's run in 6 feet deep snow (that's more than one meter) and underwater!
blis said:.... i doubt that underwater part.... and snow too... heck, i even doubt if stihls will run well in any given condition :jester: :jester:

I missed seeing a "this saw vs. that saw" thread, so I am bringing one back to the top!
All the 7900 needs is a full-wrap handle, and to lose those oversized US double spikes for the smaller, more useful Euorpean issue spikes and I would own one.
