Air filter pics

Is it possible to put too much oil in the filter? I use the bag method and load up the filter and then squeeze like the dickens. Squish out as much oil as possible. It this correct? Best way?
Filter seems to have plenty of oil on and in it.

I just got a used 550xp and cleaned it up last night. I was surprised how much gunk was in there. Read up on filters for the 550 and went to get an orange filter today. Dealer says they're junk and gave me one, I paid for the white one and the yellow one came with the saw.

026. 3 tanks.
Some oak, some pine.
Some was dead, some was live.



Didnt take a pic, but with filter off, nothing was in the carb.

Just get the big chunks and let the rest through.

Yuk. Mine looks like that after a day of cutting. I blow it off with air.

When I had an MS 260 I usually cleaned / needed to clean the filter after every tank or 2. That was cutting standing dead Elm and some Oak.

That dead wood definitely makes finer saw chips and dust.
Not so bad cutting green wood.

Pack enough chunks in the cylinder, instant compression boost.
Mo squeeze, mo powah!

Looks like he was excavating dirt with it.

Just wow!

Most tree service run the saw till it stops running. Loggers usually take better care of there saw I noticed. But not always.

Those air filters suck.

Yes it is possible to over oil a filter, the bag method works, but you only want to coat everything with oil, not soak it. Over oiling will reduce air flow, may protect well but can deduce performance. I have had new k+n filters for my banshee that came over oiled, bike wouldn’t rev out, had to clean and reoil the filter, ran great! Another subject, in mass air flow fuel injection the mass airflow sensor can be compromised by over oiling the air filter.

I've seen that before too.

Thank you. I guess I gotta rethink this.
