keeping dust out of huskies

[bwgdog]

Would anybody have the Outerwears stock number for Husky 372xp HD air filter 2004 vintage ? tia

How would that effect the amount of intake air being directed over the cylinder fins for cooling?

i dont think it would have any negative affect. it is very fine mesh it allows air through just fine

How about "don't use Your Huskies", they ain't gonna snort any when they're not close to any!

I sure appreciate green/fresh firewood logs.


Even though they are all skidded and usually packed in mud/dirt.

OK, anyone ever try making an "outerwear" out of the HEPA stuff the reusable/washable vacuum cleaner bags are made of?

Grease will stop anything from getting past the filter neck, unlike the turkey necked @dall he keeps slipping into anything to do about a Husqvarna and litter it with little tiny pecker tracks all over the place.

As long as the filter isnt more clogged causing the grease to suck thru.

I put a k&n filter with pre filter on my milling saw , it works really well. I dusted the first motor

One thing I want to try out is the high pressure vacuum grease.

It’s supposed to be better suited for high heat suction situations…

Don’t anyone get excited about that last sentence. There’s no joking when it comes to proper lube selection.

I have only one Saw for cutting dry wood and this have a fine Filter and a pre filter who is oiled. I never cut dry wood with any other saw.

Chainsaws are not made for cutting dry wood.

Make a adapter for a v stack in your shop , like a K&N with a pre filter like Outerwear’s , that’s what I did for other saws

Yikes, maybe you should convert it to the cutoff saw filter system.

 

[davidwyby]

That sounds interesting. I don't use the 3120 much but the chain isn't dull and IIRC that was maybe 1 tank. My 461 filter is perfect, I think my 6100 is, or very close.

Hi top 288 (thanks @Stump Shot) seems like a much better filter than the plastic filters.

I suspect I should get larger PC Racing filter skins for it though if I want to catch most of the dirt. This seems to be stretched to holy. @MG2186


Ok to oil husky flocked filters or no? What is the flocking made of? Paper or plastic?

Thanks

No on oil and you can get an outerwears cover to fit that filter.
If I recall correctly the one for the 661 will do.

I’ve made some pre-filters out of UNI, K&N foam filter material, Outerwear is easy and quite effective, and super easy to clean,
