Does Huztl have that clutch cover listed somewhere on their site? I see it on ebay, but haven't located it yet on their site.

It will make it look fat lol
Will you post some pics of the coating on your new cylinder when you get it? Thanks
I will do.

I started to buy one of those type filters. Mine just has the stock paper filter right now. I would rather have a foam filter. Do you oil that foam filter? I have rode and raced motorcycles all my life and you usually oil them with a special oil that is very tacky and I would think that would be very good in this environment. I always carry an extra filter because after putting that oil on it you would have a hard time cleaning it in the field. I usually use Dawn dish soap to clean this type of filter. But that would keep anything out of the intake. I also use grease around the contact surface where the airfilter seal onto the carb adaptor.

Do you do any muffler mods on your saws?

I will take both your at once. The grease is a good idea. I like you, used paper filters until I saw this one and it had the prefilter I use on all my paper filters. I thought the baffle might be worth a try. The oil filter is the best filter. Our team mate davhul bought one of those maxfilters and I think he is pleased with it except for the crappy thin orange cover. I asked them if they had plans to put a better one in the filter kit and they told me to go buy a 661 the plastic was better on that filter kit. Lol right. I have not oiled the foam under the paper filter. I thought they were using it more as a baffle than a filter. i thought the oil would mess up the paper. I did a good muffler mod on my 029. These kits have dual ports and not much restrictions and have not touched them. I think a mod can have added value depending on the muffler.
I looked at the first picture that you posted and thought it was a solid foam filter. I did not realize it was just a pre filter over a paper filter. I own a small motorcycle shop and I buy a very thin kind of course filter material for road bikes. Now you have me thinking about building a pre filter for my paper filters. The pre filter can be oiled and it will pick up a surprising amount of fine dirt with little to no restriction. I also keep it for very dusty off road races. I can put one on my bike filter and keep my main filter cleaner. Like on the Colorado 500 I can just remove the pre filter during the race and have a relatively fresh main filter. A paper filter with a foam oiled would keep your main filter cleaner for longer. You could keep an extra pre filter in a baggie pre oiled and change it during the day. This would give you a clean main paper filter instead of needing to clean it mid day and would make your paper filter last longer. I will see how much material I have in stock and try and make one tomorrow and post it here. It would be easy to make.

Great. I like pre filters. Made sense to me and I took up using them. Your experience with bikes gives you an edge with filtration knowledge. My buddy is way up on it also. I learn when I can.
What is this baffle? Can it be used instead of the foam in the paper filter? Is it used if you switch to the foam filter?
Brian
Brian
Yes I think they are used foam as a cost savings measure. The baffle should work fine. I am working on my saw if I don't get side tracked I will remove the foam from the paper filter and see if the baffle fits.
I did not know they had this.
People have various issues with the huztl. Mostly the cord. I replaced the cord with a stihl. My compression was so high as he pulled it, well it speaks for itself. It could happen to the Stihl, maybe. I got it installed. We will see.
