Ya I'm really liking the hd2. Lets the wood into the combustion chamber so when it ignites it adds h.p. and torque

Been using Stihls HD filters on pro saws for a long time. I've got mostly older saws, all pre mtronic, and have never had any issues like in this video. Not ever. Annual compression checks mirror the previous year. Still on OEM carbs. I don't cut as much as some but likely more than most. 5 gallon of mix roughly every month during the winter. One mistake people make is over servicing their filter. You should not be opening them up everytime you cut. Small amount of grease on the lips and tighten snug. Do NOT over tighten. For what it's worth it's been proven over and over that paper filtration is superior to oil (foam). Foam filters rely on the proper amount of oiling to catch particles, too much or too little both have consequences. Even when done properly they simply do not catch what a quality paper element will. You don't have to believe me, look up some of the biggest filter manufacturers in the world they have all performed these tests extensively. Fleetguard, Donaldson, Hastings, etc. If oiled filters were superior they would be on everything. Cost wise from a manufacturer perspective a piece of foam is far cheaper than a pleated filter.

Finally a useful air filter comparison for what actually counts… infiltration. I simply can’t understand why stihl doesn’t simply have a cheap foam wrap for their filters.

Add gun grease i.e. Ujoint grease to face of factory seal been doing it 20 years every once and a while a filter or face plate around carb will have a defect and not seal good. Over and undertightning can both cause dirt bypass even with or with out grease. But ,but,but Best thing is just do as I now do. order a max flow once you have it in your hand go to dealer purchase new saw don't even use factory filter... Would you throw dirt in a truck carb drive it a couple thousand miles then buy a new filter . that kept it almost 95 percent clean. Do it right from the start.

how well does the maxflow work in cold weather does it have the option to pull air from around the cylinder like the stock air cover/filter?

I just saw a Swedish test of 500 i. 3 months no maintenance. When they pulled air filter it was same as 661, obvious fines past filter seal....so will 661 MaxFlow work on 500 i ?

Looking at stepping up to Stihl 6 series (need bigger saw) Have chance on an older excellent condition 660 & same owner has almost new 661 w auto tuning feature - $500.00 For the 660 & $800.00 for the 661 - both 25" bars - Obviously the 661 only couple years old but I'm kinda scared of the auto tune stuff being Ol School Cat - Being that you own both could you advise an recommendation - Thanks, jack

I have the exact same problem with sawdust getting in behind the stock air filter on my ms361c. What a garbage design, it leaks in dust at the back and the pleats fill up after a few tanks of gas. I have only been using my 661 on my chainsaw winch because I don't want to suck in a bunch of sawdust into the engine while cutting wood. I will have to buy an after market filter for this saw. How sad when a leading chainsaw manufacturer with great products makes a professional saw that sucks dust into the engine as designed and sold and they haven't had a manufacturers recall on the filter.

Seals around the circular opening, the dust on the backplate, while annoying, is not passing into the intake. But it falls in easily when removing the filter.
