Replacing the Air Filter - Briggs &
Stratton Engine

If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly,
the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty
air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled
disrupting operation.

filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance
Schedule for the proper service interval).
Cleaning/replacing the air filter is carried out
as follows:
1. Remove the air filter cowling
2. Remove the filter cartridge.
3. Remove the foam filter (pre-cleaner).
Clean the foam filter with liquid detergent
and water. Squeeze dry in a clean cloth.
Saturate with engine oil and squeeze it
inside a clean absorbenth cloth.
4. Tap the paper filter against a fixed
surface to remove dust. If the paper filter
is still dirty, it must be replaced.
5. Wipe clean the inside of air filter housing.
6. Refit the foam filter (pre filter).
7. Mount the filter in the air filter housing.
8. Replace the cowling over the air filter
