This air filter is manufactured by Tecumseh and is an OEM replacement part for select compatible engines on lawn and garden equipment. The air filter system in an engine is designed to help ensure maximum airflow and remove dirt and debris from the air as it is entering the carburetor and the engine. This filter is made of durable plastic and composite paper materials and includes metal screening to help catch more debris and ensure the filter holds its shape. The air filter will collect particles of dirt and debris, and over time it can become clogged from regular use. Air filters should be replaced regularly as a part of routine maintenance, and this replacement part will do the job for models that take the filter. Always disconnect the spark plug when performing maintenance. Replace air filters annually or as needed and choose genuine OEM parts like this filter for the best results. This OEM filter can be used with several different engines made by Tecumseh, including 7, 8, and 10 HP models. This part may be used on generators, wood chippers, or other small engines from Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Tecumseh, MTD, and Simplicity.
Engines are not the cleanest machines to operate, and as the pistons move, they cause the engine to heat up. This heats air inside of the engine, and as air heats, it expands. Once the engine is turned off, it cools and the air condenses. The engine's crankcase, which is between the oil pan and lower area of the engine must get proper air flow. This air is delivered by a hose from the filter to the throttle body. It draws clean air into the engine, while another vacuum feed takes in the hot, dirty air from inside of the crankcase. This OEM replacement ships individually and is simple to replace. Crankcase ventilation has to be as effective as possible, and that is possible with this breather element air filter. For use in lawn mowers, small engines, tillers, wood chippers, generators, snowblowers and other machines, it works with many brands, including Craftsman, Toro, Cub Cadet, and others.
