Saws of this era had poor filtration systems with minimal surface area  (stihl, jred, husky) and lack of centrifugal separation.Here on the west coast It was common place to modify the Husky /jred of that era with aftermarket filtration systems that added surface area and increased the cleaning interval for logging operations.  The saw in your avatar as well as many commercially modified fire vent saws used aftermarket filter systems for this reason.


In that context I agree with what you are saying. I thought that your earlier post singled out the 670 as being worse than similar models of the period, and that was the point I was contesting. (or thought I was)

I recently discovered that Cutters Choice, who still makes those Fire Vent saws from the 2166/2172 has quite a dealer network and those air filters and parts are easily accessible in most areas. Also, most of the filters have been redesigned and are now "non-crushable" unlike the one in my avatar. And they don't cost any more than the standard filters.
