Bolens String Trimmer Filter

Installing a brand-new air filter keeps the engine in top running condition. When the machine is in operation, the vacuumed air goes through the air filter. Any dirt or dust is left in the filter media. Over time, the filter will become dirty and can no longer provide the same filtering efficiency as before. If left ignored, the tiny particles could clog the engine and the carburetor. You may experience misfires and no engine start-up. An air filter replacement is cheap and easy to do. Simply remove the air cleaner cover and take out the dirty filter. Insert the new filter into the housing. This replacement will take less than 5 minutes. A screwdriver will be needed. The MTD 951-10298 Air Cleaner Kit is a genuine air filter from MTD. Each kit comes with one paper filter and one foam filter. The foam filter can be cleaned with water and detergent. The paper filter, however, needs replacement at least once a year. This air filter kit is compatible with Cub Cadet, PowerMore, and Troy-Bilt. It can also work with other garden equipment like wheel string trimmers, chipper-shredder vacuums, and log splitters.

This brand-new, original MTD air filter attaches inside the air filter housing of a string trimmer to block debris and dirt. Tiny particles can accumulate inside the machine and cause carburetor and engine problems. String trimmers come with pre-installed air filters, but when it becomes too dirty, it will not be able to filter the tiny particles efficiently. It may also cause overheating issues. When there's too much dirt accumulation inside the string trimmer, it may disrupt the carburetor and engine performance. Some symptoms include carburetor and engine spit back and rough idling. In some scenarios, it will lead to complete machine failure. Replacing the air filter is easy, only requires a screwdriver, and will take less than 10 minutes. Open the air filter cover and remove the dirty filter. Put the replacement filter into the air cleaner housing. Make sure it is aligned. Then, close the air cleaner cover. This genuine MTD air filter will only work with string trimmer models from MTD, Bolens, Yard Machines, Craftsman, and Cub Cadet. This air filter is sold individually.

As an air filter for trimmers used in the yard, this component helps keep the engine running smoothly when doing work. A clean air filter supplies the engine with clean air for the best performance. A visual inspection of the filter will offer insight into whether a replacement is needed. Maintaining the air filter will ensure it lasts longer and keeps debris from clogging the carburetor of the trimmer. If the original air filter has obstructions or large amounts of debris, it’s best to replace it. Tears in the filter also indicate a replacement is required to prevent any damage to the engine. This will entail removing the old air filter and placing a new one where it was. Opening the engine cover will give you access to the area where the air filter is housed. This replacement air filter is an OEM product that is directly from the manufacturer. It comes as an individual item and is designed for use with various Craftsman, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Bolens, Troy-Bilt, MTD, Murray, and Yard Machines trimmers.

Mowers are manufactured to last for about 500 hours of running, which breaks down to about 19-20 years for the typical non-commercial user. Commercial mowers, which see a great deal more use, are designed to last for 1000 hours of service, which is about 10 years. To extend the life of a lawn mower to its full potential, there are certain simple preventative routines a user can follow, including annual oil and filter changes. One important routine maintenance ritual for mowers that is often overlooked is changing the air filter, something that should be done at least annually. When the mower chugs, cycles, or simply will not start, the first thing to check is the air filter. When replacing the filter, make sure to use a genuine OEM certified replacement part like this one, which is manufactured according to the specification of the original factory filter. This filter is compatible with Bolens, Yard-Man, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and MTD.
