Description

This is a filter pre-cleaner designed for use with small engines. It is designed to work in tandem with the larger air filter and provides a second layer of protection from dirt, dust, and other contaminants that might enter the engine and cause damage during operation. It also helps extend the life of the air filter. As with any filter, the filter pre-cleaner has a defined use life. Eventually, enough dirt and debris will build up in the filter that it becomes clogged, and air cannot move through smoothly. While cleaning it periodically can extend its life, it will eventually need to be replaced. If the engine is spitting and sputtering, or the owner notices it using more fuel than usual, they may need to replace the filter pre-cleaner. Replacing the filter pre-cleaner is simple. Just remove the cover, take out the old one, install the new one, and replace the cover. Note that this is an OEM part and is sold individually. It is compatible with Briggs & Stratton engines on lawn mowers, portable generators, and over 150 different machines.
