Fellow sold them without chain brakes so they would fit in med flat rate box.

Which ones did you get? I have a 360 and older 301. Both need a bit of a tune-up.

Wanna throw this out there. I'm in search of the short 024 air filters. Tough to find good ones. Haven't found a good aftermarket one yet. Local dealer wants $31 for a new one!

I'm thinking of reflocking them myself. I think I could apply glue to the plastic frame and stretch a fabric(felt?) of some kind across the frame. I'd have to cut around holes with a xacto knife but that's no problem.

Another option is adapting the cover and such to a different filter.
 
I have two CS341 from the tree service pile. Another on 100 year lease to Jim. And, got three CS3000 carcasses off evilbay. Should get two runners out of that deal as I have enuff leftover parts.

31 bux. Yikes!

Good deal! I'm going to have to start watching the bay closer. Need a CS400 top end right now. Actually, I haven't tore it down so I might be able to use at least the cylinder.
 
Not to late to buy this for you wife for valentine's day. Was in there this morn. Talked to the guy said the guy just traded in for bigger saw said it ru s great. Looks like all three grey is still on the one cover that usually comes off quick. You guys have a good day. 20150213_101303.jpg 20150213_101312.jpg
 
Jim was supposed to be by here this afternoon but had to cancel. Seems the Ford High Rise is having brake issues.

I think I have him encouraged to put some of his overflow on C'list.

I bet I could help him with some of his overflow problem and save him the hassle of C'list

I've used felt flocking material on some filters in the past. Got good results from it too. Used a spray adhesive, lightly, on the old filter and dusted the flocking on. Let it set up for a couple of days and blew off the excess material. Even comes in different colors.

as per normal, pix or it didn't happen
 
Oh yes, good morning everyone.
Well my Hutzl MS170/180 engine finally hit Detroit today. 3 weeks but I ain't complainin, I knew about their shipping time.

I got the 49mm complete engine in twelve days. The 20 nylon chain bumpers have not hit a USPS location yet in 22 days. Yikes!
I filed a complaint with evilbay. I needed them two weeks ago. But, thirteen bux for twenty is seven cheaper than Stihl dealer.
