I have a Stihl 026 chainsaw. When it starts to lose power, I know it's time to blow out the air filter with compressed air. Then it runs great again until the filter clogs again.
Lately the time between cleanings has been shortening. I suppose any filter gets to the point where it can't be cleaned anymore, but I'm wondering if there's some other way besides compressed air that might clean it better. Can I wash it in water?
The air filters for these saws are pricey, so I want to get as much life as possible out of them.
Thanks,
Tom
