hi, have many of you changed the choke system on your husky 50 saws over to the later one screw type? if so, is it worth the time and cost? thanks, chuck
thanks guys, the one screw type is like what is on my 51. has one screw through the center of the air cleaner. the 50 style looks like it snaps on? the 50 didn't come with the air cleaner.Not sure what you mean by "one screw"?
You know, up until you pointed it out, I hadn't realised there was a screw attaching the 51 filter to it's base. I've never actually seen a 51 or 55 but I should've looked more carefully at the IPLs.thanks guys, the one screw type is like what is on my 51. has one screw through the center of the air cleaner. the 50 style looks like it snaps on? the 50 didn't come with the air cleaner.
great feedback guys, you know I might be better off just buying a filter for it and call it good. the top cover is pretty rough, soooo. I found a used gray cover for 24.00 plus 11.00 shipping. these saws are addicting and fun. thanks, chuckYou know, up until you pointed it out, I hadn't realised there was a screw attaching the 51 filter to it's base.

Pre-1989 I fitted a few original 50 Ranchers with Partner 5000+ cylinder and piston, Husqvarna 44 HDA carburetor, air filter & filter mount and 244R choke lever (slightly straightened the metal part of the lever and filed a slot in the back of the top cover for it to protrude through). All that fits under the original top cover but I don't know if the 51 type does.
