I recently bought a second hand ms461.

It runs and cuts fine but I had heard about the older style air filters being no addition so I stripped the entire intake system down to have a look.
This is what I found.

A large amount of dust and dirt had made its way through the air filter and into the carb. The saw was still running perfectly but it was only a matter of time before damage was done.
I took an hd1 air filter off a 660 I don't use, hopefully it will see me through until the maxflow filter I ordered arrives from the US.
I also took the carb screw limiters out. The screws themselves do not have springs on them like ordinary ones would, do I need to worry about over tightening them?
