TROUBLESHOOTING OR TESTING<br />

If the engine's performance is unsatisfactory (needs excessive carburetor adjustments, starts smoking<br />

abnormally, loses power), the first engine component to be checked is the air filter. A dirt restricted or an oil<br />

soaked filter will cause noticeable performance problems. A polyurethane filter may be cleaned following the<br />

service procedure listed under "Service" in this chapter. A paper-type air filter should only be replaced. A<br />

paper-type filter cannot have an oil film present on the paper. Follow the procedure listed in the "Service"<br />

section of this chapter for filter replacement or cleaning.<br />

SERVICE<br />

Service on the polyurethane filter element (cleaning and oiling) is recommended every three (3) months or<br />

every twenty five (25) operating hours, whichever comes first. Extremely dirty or dusty conditions may require<br />

daily cleanings.<br />

The paper filter element should be replaced once a year or every 100 operating hours, more often if used in<br />

extremely dusty conditions.<br />

NOTE: NEVER RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE COMPLETE AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY INSTALLED ON<br />

THE ENGINE. ALWAYS REPLACE THE FILTER ELEMENT WITH THE PROPER TECUMSEH ORIGINAL<br />

REPLACEMENT PART.<br />

DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE<br />

1. Unlock the tabs or remove the screws or wing<br />

nuts holding the air cleaner cover in place.<br />

2. Remove the hex nuts holding the element<br />

down if equipped. New nuts are supplied with<br />

a new filter and are to be used for proper<br />

sealing.<br />

3. Clean the excess contaminants out of the air<br />

cleaner body before removing the old<br />

element.<br />

4. Remove the old element and the polyurethane<br />

pre-cleaner if equipped.<br />

5. On air cleaners that use a flocked screen<br />

under the polyurethane element, remove the<br />

air cleaner assembly from the carburetor<br />

before removing the flocked screen. This<br />

prevents dirt from entering the carburetor<br />

(diag 3).<br />

6. Clean the inside of the cover and body,<br />

remove the old gasket between the carburetor<br />

and the air cleaner assembly.<br />

7. Reinstall the air cleaner assembly using a new<br />

gasket.<br />

8. Use reverse procedure for reassembly. When<br />

installing the polyurethane pre-cleaner, make<br />

sure the seam is installed to the outside to<br />

prevent gaps between the paper element and<br />

the pre-cleaner.<br />
