Guy brought this 461 in today...it's leaking gas all over the counter, dropped from a tree....broken tank handle. As I was writing the ticket, the guy mentions before it got dropped though.... it just seemed to be running bad and low on power....

This is how the air filter cover came off..and the chunk of sawdust that's missing on the side fell out when the cover got removed. I will say...look how clean the inside if that filter is....it hardly passed any fines to the intake at all. HD2's aren't that bad.
If this surprises you,then it must be a southern thing because I save all of mine plus a few more I can find for repair/modification purposes. For example every axe that my teenage children are going to use has Arkansas or South Carolina certified over strike protection installed....
Thank you, I have been telling my wife this for years! Especially since we live on a dirt road, I told her that he's gonna charge you extra if you don't...Nobody bothers to even make a attempt to clean down machines they bring in. I take my car in for a service ...I wash it so the mechanic can get on with the job ! Only showing some courtesy if you ask me .
Yeah, air filters. Most people wouldn't be able to find them on their equipment if you offered them money for it.

How any air got through that mess? Or just how long it ran like garbage before they decided it needed looked at?
No wonder it's in the shop,and the owner is? probably at the Doctor with back problems from trying to start it....

Of course, but just looking at it made me feel like I was having a hard time breathing...The crazy part is with a new air filter it starts on the first pull every time.
