Best air filter for Husky 268?

[SteveO-La]

I have been searching the forums to find best filter for my new 268. Have found different versions from nylon mesh to a HD style thats NLA. Just wondering which is the best, cutting pecan wood on property, no dust or extreme conditions.
Thanks, SteveO-La

I would stick with the 503447204. Paper filter, good all around. Nylon types are usually considered “winter” filters, dont tend to ice up if you do a ton of winter cutting.

I just purchased new orginal husky nylon mesh filters for my older saws. I split them and wash them with ether. The paper filters I lightly blow them from the inside out low air pressure.

Thanks guys, bought a tuneup kit from HL supply with good looking Hyway filter.

Thanks guys, bought a tuneup kit from HL supply with good looking Hyway filter.

to get the best of both worlds, how would a mesh (winter) filter do with a
lightly oiled foam insert sandwiched between the 2 halves?
