Ok this may be a silly question, and there may be an obvious answer but I figured I would ask.
I am not a professional so I sometimes have to seek professional help.
I have a some Stihl saws, 025, MS260, MS360, MS360C with "felt" type air cleaners. In the past I have just bought new ones when I got a saw, but its getting a little pricey.
I did find advice to clean them in soap and water and never use an air gun, but I have a couple of questions.
1. How do you know they are bad?
2. How often should they be cleaned? ( i know not an easy answer)
3. Are the aftermarket ones comparable?
4. Where is the best place to purchase replacements.
