STIHL The Official Stihl Chainsaws Thread

[echo510s]

Hi all!
Clarifying question for folks:

Is it ok to just stock white 462c filters for all 46s (Keep It Simple Stupid) or is there a reason to run different filters / adding the tan pre-filters / foam inner-filters on the older models?

I recently requested a spare filter set for every Stihl saw in our city fleet. They ordered the white filter for 462c, and the black with/without pre-filter for 460&461 since that is what the parts diagram showed. Now I see a foam inner-filter is also a thing...

460/461s air filter wont share with 462s.

Whoops yep just a modern-looking white filter for a 461 vs a black filter/prefilter combo on the 460 that threw me off. Any reason not to use the modern-looking white ones in future orders?

I do cut a fair amount of wood, but it's just an excuse to play with saws. Truth be told, my actual needs could be met with just my Echo CS-400, but what fun is just having one saw? If the 251 is still there when I bail out a layaway next week I may see if I can get a deal on it. Our state government uses MS-250's pretty much exclusively, and those guys are not kind to their equipment.

Did you buy it ?

Nope, it was gone the next time I went in there. And I'm glad it was, 'cause I don't need to be buying more saws!

I believed the black ones are no longer available. I was told Stihl change them to white color to help users know how dirty their air filter is.

You'll find yourself a campfire saw someday.

Yer supposed to blow into the intake side, or suck out of the exhaust to prime it!

Says so in the interwebs (see above!) and the interwebs never lies.

The lumberyard down the street from my building manufactures surveying stakes of all sorts. Most start with an 8' unit of 2x3, 2x4, or 2x6 lumber which the cut in half and proceed to make 2' and 4' stakes. They have an 881 equipped with a 60" bar for the first operation, and I sharpen chains and maintain their saw as needed. Today, it needed a new starter rope.
