That means it is becoming more sporty.
I am on the fence about opening the transferrs. I might try primary first ...........................

I ran the saw for 2 cuts after modding the muffler, shut her down, looked under the HD2 and saw fines in the carb. Thats when I decided to make a MaxFlow fit my 661

I really like the maxflo, best filtration option for a Stihl

People put the Max-Flo systems down because they're "ugly," but I was always able to go 3-5 days in the brush without servicing the Max-Flo as compared to only being able to go 4-5 hours with a stock Stihl filter. I don't care if the Max-Flo flowed more air or not- being able to go that long between cleanings was well worth it.

I have been trying to find where to simply buy the filters, rather than the whole kit. Anybody got a hint? Or just call maxflow in the morning?

I just spoke with MaxFlow filters (Joseph) and they are developing a kit for the 661 now.

There might be some final tests needed, but the basic framework is just about nailed down.

When I get more info, I'll pass it along

Cut out the entire filter media in the HD, then it is just a screen/frame for the MaxFlow

The maxflo can fit on a 661 if you canabalize an HD filter and just put the foam element over the cage

Stupid (newb) question here... Would there be a benefit to putting that canabalized HD maxflo filter on a 394/395xp? Think it would fit in the hightop?

Here is a shameless plug. I just got the stock filter from HL suppy, the aftermarket stock style one. It's the one with the foam insert, paper filter w/ screen on the outside of it and a felt overwrap. Looks nice compared to my factory OEM steel screen filter. What do you folks have to say about these filters? Do you oil the inner foam insert?
