Top foam style filters/v stacks

[heartwoodlover1001]

Good Evening!


I was wondering if some members that used the aftermarket type filters which require some modification could chime in. Like for example benefits, drawbacks, likes/dislikes. Thank you for any input, would you run the same system again? or would you change to other options?

Maybe any pictures, experiences et cetra

Velocity stack or max flow?

I'm running a vstack and a Uni two stage filter on my 288. I thought it would get in the way but it doesn't at all. My only complaint is that the outer red prefilter works it's way off with vibrations from the saw. I think I seen @Deets066 fighting the same thing on his 2100 at Randy's GTG.

 

[Deets066]

It does, suprizing how tight they fit and yet vibrate right off. I have a vid of the 2100 doing it

It's a prime example of how husky puts the vibes into the saw and not the user

Anybody ever tried a rubber band or hair band to keep them in place?

Hmm, now you have my wheels turning. Maybe a piece of safety wire pierced through it with a bend on each end to keep if from falling out.

Yeah I put a rubber band around mine, haven't ran it yet though

I put a rubber band around the filter on my 036. It worked perfect for me. Nice cheap easy fix

So those that run this system are you sold on them or are their days times that stock has its merits? Just curious because I am interested in and would like more insider knowledge!

That's a really strong saw there Deetsey

I have a 2100 Husky,west coaster that has a Vee with a K and N filter .I don't know if it's just a west coast thing or if it really works better than a stock filter .For that matter I have no idea if the engine is stock or tweeked .Never had the cylinder off .Cuts good,starts hard .That thing has a lot of carb ,real easy to flood,pain in the buttocks in that perspective .

There really is no benefit of a stock pleated filter or even a mesh style compared to some of the foam filters that have been mentioned. No fines are let through and longer intervals between cleanings with an oiled foam filter.

 

[Ryan Browne]

I've never used one, but I would think the benefit if a stock setup would be use in inclement weather. Am I wrong in thinking that you wouldn't want one of those foam filters exposed to rain or snow?

Only other thing I can think of would be if you're cutting in steep ground. If your saw accidentally rolled over, would the filter or stack stand to be knocked off or otherwise damaged?

same stack fits 026-066 easy to try it on different saws


can be used without an air filter base or with depending on how creative you want to be or if you know a guy who is clever


generally badass without a filter at all, or so I tell myself


available in the turbo express model for chainsaws with fuel injection and/or turbochargers
