When was the last time this guy checked his air filter? :msp_biggrin: Poor saw was toast. Everything else on it was as bad as the air filter. Fuel filter, rocked out chain flopping around in a worn out bar.

That's a shame I couldn't abuse anything like that.
Some don't care. I have an MS460, 310, 029--all passed on to me cause of neglect. Saws are like cars--take care of 'em----they'll take care of you-longivity

OK, that's appalling, but why does it hurt the saw? It can't get any air, the mixture should be pig rich, it can barely run or make power. It oughta be well lubed inside!
Just maby when he get's the repair bill it might open his eye's.
It opened 'em all right. He bailed on repairing it when I gave him the estimate. New top end, gasket, plug, fuel line and filter, air filter, plus labor. Add in a new bar and chain, and with sales tax he was over $400.
Yup, for as much as the gent spent on the saw, you'd think he'd be a bit more diligent. Re the car statement, I agree. But I also believe cars seem to need so little attention these days I feel folks have been transferring this thinking to saws. Remember how often we used to have do tune-ups and change out plugs, points, condensers and the like?
The "get in and go" thing rules these days. More busted saws for us chainsaw heads, I guess.

Maybe he read the K&N ads that say the filters clean better when they're dirty?
