    Bought a 032av and im duly impressed. The only downfall ive found is the air filter gets plugged and halfway through the day i got to stop and clean it. Any tips on correcting this?

    My first saw was an 032AV....still have it.....my suggestion is to lower the rakers to .030”....that way you make chips not sawdust....:)

    Welcome to the world of stihl most of old stihls needed air filter cleaning more than once a day that was the reason we got away from using them when we were doing a lot of firewood we switched to jonsered and you could run them all day and not worry about them stihl has gotten better with their newer stuff and Vhmtach40 is correct sharp chain and a little lower depth gauge will keep the finer dust to a minimum which will help JB
