Review on 🔍 Stens Air Filter 102-571: Compatible with Echo PB-251, PB-255, PB-265, PE-280, and SRM-280 Models by William Turner

As others have reported I thought I saved some money by purchasing this aftermarket part and while Stens makes some great aftermarket parts, it is this one a bit too restrictive, i found after installing this on my echo leaf blower whose carb i had just rebuilt, it started right away but i knew something was wrong when i pulled the trigger, and I could tell from experience that there was simply no electricity. As before, I then read on YouTube where others had the same issue after installing this Stens air filter in their gear. Then I went back outside and removed the new Stens filter and put the old Echo filter back on and when I started the blower worked like new, then I went to my local Echo dealer and bought an Echo filter and that was it back to normal. As I said, Stens and Rotary make quality aftermarket replacement parts for outdoor gear and I remain a customer b. But this filter is somewhat restrictive, and while it works, there can be performance hits, as I and others have reported.
