I did notice the base and cover are slightly different, but all of the BGs and SHs at the dealer were current, no direct comparison to the old. I suppose I could haul my old SH in there and compare?

Glad to hear they finally improved them. The old ones were pretty pathetic. Especially given that they are intended to blow lots of dust and debris.
They do blow lots of snow too, great way to quickly clean off the truck. It starts so quick and easy that it's as quick to use it for snow removal as a brush.

I use my bg 86 with a gutter clean out tube to make sure the gutters stay clean during fall wood burning season. Just so sparks from the chimney won't have any fuel to find.
For snow duty I bust out the Redmax backpack. It pretty much replaces a snow brush and shovel. Even busts up glazed over pack several inches deep.

Did anyone figure out if the HD2 filter can be used on older models? If so do you have the part#?
PICS?

I did see one with the HD2 at the dealer and it won't work on mine
Stihl really got them handheld blowers right HD or not. l have a BG56 which is not the prograde BG86 and it gets used daily mon-fri for about an hour or so each day. It gets no nice treatment (no warm up) just straight to WOT as soon as it starts and has been with us now for over 3 years. lt is still on its original spark plug and the only part that has been replaced was the foam air filter....which it really did not need. l would buy this model again and as they are half the price of the Bg86 l think they are great value considering they have the same clambshell engine. l like clambshells for certain applications. l would love to know from a stihl tech what the reason is for a slight power increase in the 86 over the 56. l bet that you could make a 56 perform the same as an 86 with a simple ignition module swap. lts not neccessary as the 56 runs great.....but my CAD NEEDS to know!
Hi
The reason for the slight power increase between the BG 56 ang BG 86 is the Max. RPM at full throttle.
Max. permissible speed with nozzle on BG 56 is 6800 rpm.
Max. permissible speed with nozzle on BG 86 is 7200 rpm.
The ignition modules between these two units are different too.
Ignition Module BG 56 is 4241 400 1302.
Ignition Module BG 86 is 4241 400 1307.
I hope this helps you a little bit.
