I clean my air filter on my 026 with every tank full of fuel. so I noticed the last time that there was some sawdust inside it. so the question is am I missing a gasket or an o-ring? or do I need a new air filter? has anyone else had this problem?
I'm pretty meticulous about cleaning my saws. Whenever the stop button or the choke lever doesn't work I clean it or every 200 cords whichever comes 1st. Spidy is right though the sawdust mustn't hurt too much or this saw would have calved long ago. I blow off the outside quite often but never took the cover off until the stop button quit working. I then checked my 056 and it was the same just not quite as bad. I bought all new filters anyway just in case something was warped, missing or just toast. That's the trouble with having too many saws when one quits you just pick up another. Never get time to fix them.

That is absolutely nothing for debris. You should see what comes through my 550XPG and 562XPG.

you mean the seam of the 2 halves of the filter? or where the filter seals to the carb?I just run a bead of silicon around the seem and all is good. Happens to every brand of saw I have.
