I suspect that it doesn’t trap the sawdust like the hd2?

Not even close, couple swipes with a soft bristle brush and its clean.

Looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I spent almost 15 minutes cleaning out an HD2 on Tuesday with a carb screwdriver after a nasty ass ash removal.

Is it an issue..depends on who you ask I guess..

I don't understand how it can be that difficult to clean a dry filter. It should simply tap or blow out.

I would had to beat that filter with a hammer to get the *s-word out that packed in the corners of the pleates.

Joking aside..and I've seen it mentioned here..I think if the pleates weren't so close together it might be a better design...personal opinion.

When those filters get a little fuel soak and you get dust packed in it sucks to try to clean them..if you can get it clean.

I just prefer the foam filters. I like the way they work and filter. Just me I guess.

MustangMike · Sep 21, 2018

Fuel soak will definitely gunk it up. I try and avoid it by using spitback guards on the 460s, foam on the 440s, and I always orient the filter the same way up so the top stays dry and easier to clean. The pleated filter has so much more surface area than a flat filter that if you keep the top 3/4 of it clean, it will still out flow a flat filter. The area with the spitback does not clean out easily, and if you double that area by flipping the filter upside down half the time, you will soon need a new filter.
