V-stack filters

[Daserlon]

I tried to run the 2 stage Uni on my 2100 but it just *s-words the outer filter right off after one cut. Kinda weird

I'm probly gunna get a K&N for it.

It did the same thing on my 288. I noticed the bolt holding the carb intake down was missing. Replaced the bolt and no more problem. Too much vibration without that bolt is my guess.

Got these in the mail yesterday, won't be able to run em. Goin out of town on work for a bit

For you guys running the K&N, when I raced in the desert I used to wrap an oil soaked 'Chux' kitchen cloth around the filter. I just used a couple of rubber bands to hold it in place. When I pitted I could just pull it off and have a clean filter for the rest of the race.

Cutting wood isn't as dusty as desert racing, but if you want to try a cheap pre-filter it may work, especially for something like milling.

Used this one and the outerwear cover linked at the bottom of the page:

I have put several tanks of fuel through the saw and its still spotless under the outerwear cover.
I believe you could run one of these filters 7 days a week and clean it once every month.
For me as a firewood hack it will be removed and cleaned once a year

Bought a chinese cover to chop up and made a bracket that bolts on between the V Stack and carb to allow me to bolt the cover on from the top.
Works perfect!

I wouldn't mind using a pre filter if it was a fitted one. I bet outerwears makes one that would be close

I forget who I heard it from, but they said to wrap your filter with pantyhose[the leggings]. I would much prefer a fitted outerwear for my filters if I can find them.

 

[Deets066]

Cheese cloth possibly could work too, but like you say outerwear would be better

Skip Chain ?

Nope, I am a full comp kinda guy

If you look on the k@n filter website where they have the adaptable filters, each filter will have a link to the fitted outerware that fits it down the bottom of the page if it has one.
They don't all have one available

Has anyone tried this K&N HD replacement filter?

I am very interested!

Ahhhhh looks like they only work on older Stihl saws with the rubber seal as part of the filter mount plate like 044, 064, 084 like this:

 

[Brewz]

Well I just ordered one to try.
I have an 044, 064 and 084 (Im a 0x4 stihl fan) and if it works well I will be getting one for all 3 of the saws.
That way I can use the factory covers and have really good flow.

You may want a prefilter, I would bet with the cover on that they may pack up sawdust. But I could be wrong

I think it would work well hit with foam filter oil

We always use pantyhose for pre filters. for that sheer look.

 

[Brewz]

But my wife dont use pantyhose, So I will have to go but them

bugger that

It looks like I'm going to have to use the pantyhose trick cause there is no prefilters for my K&N's.

 

[CR500]

Let me know how those K&Ns work.


I can possibly see the 064 receiving a filter upgrade lol
