The 461 comes with an HD-2. The max flow will last longer between cleanings, but is bulkier.
Has your 461 been to Tennessee?
Was the first one he got to play with.Has your 461 been to Tennessee?

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these filters supposed to have a round foam pre-filter on them? The pre-filter catches the big crud while the main element is for small dust. The pre-filter cleans easily in the sink with dish soap and a *soft* paint brush.Oh, I wanted to ask about the air filter. See pictures. I took the saw apart and cleaned it all up, then I opened the air box and saw the filter all clogged up. Should it be this packed with stuff after only running it on Noodling for a few hours?
Only the original HD filters. The new HD2's do not have a prefilter on them. Some run the Outerwears on them with good results.Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these filters supposed to have a round foam pre-filter on them?

I have a 33 year old Honda lawnmower with the same system. The foam pre-filter gets cleaned and re-oiled annually. The main filter has been replaced once in 33 years!

By "Outerwears" are you referring to the prefilter? Are some folks adding the prefilter to the HD2?Only the original HD filters. The new HD2's do not have a prefilter on them. Some run the Outerwears on them with good results.
