Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
When You receive the west coast saw filter, it specifically says to not use an aerosol can filter spray
Semper fi I recently bought a 462 and am excited to do these mods, thanks for sharing !!!
Right on, they are awesome! Semper Fi
Nothing but good things to say about this channel and West Coast saws
I have a foam air filter on my 462 C-M R and it’s working great 👍🏻 I just checked it a minute ago cause I been cutting lots of doug fir, alder , western hemlock and big leaf maple into firewood . And my filter has no buildup in the middle .
Good video buddy and keep up the good work and hope all is well with you and your family and keep up the good work and and keep living life to the fullest and peace out
I have WCS clutch cover , 3 point falling dogs and just got the foam air filter installed on my Ms 462 R C-M ! I love Gordy's products !!
Air filter looks super cool compared the one on my Farm Boss. Don't use it too often but do blow it out periodically
Good comparison!!!
Great video thanks!
I like your new video you did a really good jop today buddy
Once adding this I wonder if it would help adding a mesh screen on the back of the saw. The back side of the filter gets pressed against the case. Maybe a future hack.
Thanks for the info . I noticed you setting your saw on a towel , people that know me laugh at my OCD with my saws . They are tools and i use them hard but i like to take care of them too . I blow them off and wipe them down when i'm done cutting and hell, i even give them a coat of wax every now and then .
My man! Yes. People think everything I have is brand new! Noooooo.....I just take care of my crap. The reason for the towel is for my nice new table and I don’t want the WCS dogs to scratch it! They are wicked sharp
@@TheDurbinCompound Awesome , same here . Nothing wrong with havin a little pride in your equipment . I always tell my wife , some day you'll be able to have a nice auction when i'm gone . Haha !!! I did end up picking up a 20" and 25" sthil LW bars , love em . Thanks for the good vids .
Awesome! I just picked up a 36” Oregon reduced weight for my Husky 394xp. I like the Oregon’s but the Stihl is still the best bang for the buck!
Yeah me too.
I've got their BarkBox on my 462, and that filter looks like a great idea add to the system. Did you notice a difference with one or the other or did you install them at the same time. Always enjoy the content, thanks for posting
Wish they made one for the 500i like that. With no cutting a giant hole in my air filter cover. And then having the giant filter stickinh out
I hear ya there!!
I have a 462 and my air cleaner does not get full of wood chips or clogged up .
I just put one on my ms362cm and all you have to do is grab hold of that baffle and turn it counterclockwise and pull and it comes right off. No removing bolts or anything. Just install the new phone filter.
i just bough a ms462 nonmtronic i put the west cost barkbox on in can you tell me how to ajust the carb or show a video on it thanks
thanks nice to know
It's too easy!
And when read the Manuel depending on use you are supposed to replace your filter monthly according to stihl
Yeah that becomes a very expensive venture
Simply blow out with an air line, I run a 500i never seen fines inside the filter, nor does it clog after 2 or 3 tanks.
Can you get these for other Stihl models?
What is the numbers on the uni filter?
It would be nice to see how the filter was oiled. You skipped over that part and I think that we new users would benefit from that. After installing this filter, is there any break-in required so that the 462 re-learns that characteristics of the new filter? Thanks.
Made a video just for you!
How To Oil A Foam Filter
th-cam.com/video/xpYuPGeuMRY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, Devon. This video on how you oiled your WCS Foam Filter. I oiled my filter the same way you did, using the same oil but I might have left a bit too much oil into the filter. Now I know what to do and how to do it. Semper Fi and thanks again.
So with the dogs from wcs do you have to buy two or buy 1 and it’s a set of dogs of two
It is a set. Comes with 2. It does not come with hardware
What's the deal with westcoast not wanting you to use spray oils! Is there some difference in the oil or is it because of them worrying about a unified oil layer?
You nailed it buy uneven saturation.
Bel Ray is arguably the best out there. "When used properly "
🍻🍺👍
I'm a tree cutter I cut a lot everyday so would it be okay if I cleaned it once a day or should I do it once a week what do you recommend how often should I clean that filter if I'm cutting everyday
I’d say you’d probably be fine with once a week cleaning. I think you’ll find that it really doesn’t get that dirty.
Thank you
I see you got an ms 260 behind. Any tips for better filtration for that saw? I found fines in the stock filter, and I barely even cut with it.
Nope. Unfortunately the filter design isn’t perfect. You could always add a prefilter sock.
@@TheDurbinCompound Yeah, I think I'll do that. Husky is way ahead of Stihl in air filtration, I have to say. I thought the 462 was getting there, but it doesn't seem that better, compared to other Stihls.
True. I run a West Coast Saw foam air filter on the 462 and like it. I also run Max Air Flow filters on saw I can get them for. The 500i air filtration is among the worse I’ve seen. It just pulls in all the dust and dirt and does a horrible job managing it with the paper filter
@@TheDurbinCompound Yeah, I don't even understand why they make it that way. The most cutting edge saw, and that's the filtration you get.
We were convinced it was because of the vents on the side of the air filter cover but it is not. We taped all of them up and still had the same issue
Really enjoying your videos! Nice job.
At the time of shooting, was the saw still fairly stock? You could hear it smooth out through the first cut and by the end it was sounding super healthy!
Id love to pick up a new 462 and just do a few simple things, bark box, west coast dogs and the air filter... kinda keep it simple.
Any suggestions?
Yeah saw is fairly stock. Just bolt on’s. The 462 is such a bad bitch, I love it. I love it more than the 500i. I have personally seen big problems with the 500. Not worth it. The 462 is the best saw I’ve ever owned
@@TheDurbinCompound Thats great feed back! Exactly what my expectations were from everything I've read and watched.
Is your the M-Tronic? Or regular carb version?
M-tronic, you want m-tronic, don’t be fooled by idiots that think the carb is better. That bad boy will adjust for everything and you don’t always have to go out and dick with it. Just fire it up and go. It’s so mean and it pulls a 28” with zero issue. I hardly ever use the 660 or 661. They sit on the shelf.
@@TheDurbinCompound Badass man! A really appreciate your input! I'm picking one up as soon as they're back in stock at my local shop. Thanks again!
Yeah buddy!! Let me know how it goes!
I cut pure fresh hardwood and I'm not seeing my filter stopped up on my 462 like you're saying. Not saying it's not happening on your end but jus my experience thus far.
With the air filter mod are you seeing any improvement performance wise?
Since you have the barkbox how about doing a stock exhaust, barkbox with mtronic reset with stock airfilter then both exhaust with m-tronic reset with new airfilter mod timed cuts.
I run them all day. This dude has no clue what he's talking about! Just pushing gimmicks for views. I can run my saws hard for 8 hours straight and have barely anything in the filter at end of day.
He said if you say something bad he's just going to delete comments. Also he's got no clue what's going on. Factory filters can be blown out way easy and are also washable.
@@loggingdaddy I check my filter daily and clean my filter every 5 gallon can of fuel used. My filter is less than a 1/4 stopped up. Some of the pleats don't have nothing between them .
Never heard of anyone cleaning a saw filter after every tank of fuel haha
That 462 needs some run time on it! She’s to clean 🧼
She has plenty of run time on it! I clean my saws with the hot washer. They clean up very nice!
@@TheDurbinCompound they sure do. I’m guessing you don’t run that saw daily to make a living? If so I’m widely impressed with the upkeep 😂👌
No i certainly don’t cut for a living. Just cut about 12-14 cord a year to heat
@@TheDurbinCompound Stihl super clean for that much firewood cutting!
sadly, i don't have the M-tronic so will i have to re tune my saw?
Was it a issue re tuning the saw with no M-tronic?
@@darrenclark240 no it was super easy
Hey buddy so you just spray that filter down every time you use the saw is that pretty much what I'm supposed to do clean it with an air hose and then put more of the lubricant on the filter everyday or how often should I do it
I clean this filter in the sink with soap and water. Then dry out with air and re-oil. It doesn’t take that much effort
You only need to clean it when it gets dirty, like you can start to see dirt buildup on foam. They can go for quite awhile without being cleaned, as long as they are oiled. If it's not overly dirty, but the oil has dried out a bit from sitting, I just take it off, blow it out an air hose and apply more oil. You'll get the feel for when it needs to be cleaned, but you aren't going to hurt it by cleaning it too much, but they are resilient and don't need to be cleaned constantly either.
Thank you so much
@@johndunbar2393 thank you
@@br-dj2ti You're more than welcome. Just to add, I clean them like Durbin, in the sink with Dawn dish soap and let them dry and apply oil, when they get really dirty. Take care.
Can you use belray filter oil on these filters or does it have to be the spray oil
You can use any foam filter oil. How do you apply your belray oil to filters? I used to pour it into a container and then press my filters down into it
I have the max Flo filters for my 661 and I just pour some inside the filter in a gallon ziploc bag and squeeze it until it's all throughout the filter. Helps to minimize getting it all over your hands
Yes! I’d do the same with any foam filter
Are the max flows worth it? I have a 660 and 661 that I’ve been considering putting them on but hate that the covers are black
Yes definitely worth it! Stock filter is plugged by lunch time and can go up to 2 weeks or more on a maxflo before cleaning with no fines getting through or performance drops. And you will get used to the black filter cover. Lol
Slick video. Where did you get the Felling Dogs from?
West Coast Saw
Have them on mine,they work great!!
West coast saw recommends that you use the thick oil not the spray oil have you noticed a difference in filter performance between the two types and must be a reason Gordy recommends to not use the spray oil
Hey what’s that deal on the bottom of the saw near the rear handle , love them air filters and Egan straight shot had both on my 362 , sold that and bought a 462 not 1 tank threw it the filter and exhaust went on 💪🏼👍
That is a bottom protection plate. Bought off of eBay.
@@TheDurbinCompound same hear Devin...They are a nice addition..just ordered a 462 from Ripsaw which comes with a skid plate.
Please let me know how you like the “ripsaw” saw! I’d like to review some
@@TheDurbinCompound absolutely !! Once it gets here and broke in I'll touch base with you. May be a couple months. How would you like me to reach you?
Email me at TheDurbinCompound@gmail.com or comment back here!
can not believe the way you cut that wood ......cheeeeeeeeeeeewwwww
Ah man.. they're out of the 3 point felling dogs at the moment :{
Air filter is kinda junk.. ran it a month, thing let’s a ton of fines threw.. then clogs to a brick.. if you got the time to soak her in gas once a week then ya sweet mod.. but not impressed with quality.
Searching for better options now. I’ll let ya know if I find something good.
I have a foam air filter on my 462 C-M R and it’s working great 👍🏻 I just checked it a minute ago cause I been cutting lots of doug fir, alder , western hemlock and big leaf maple into firewood . And my filter has no buildup in the middle .
