Air Cleaner Element, Eb7650th 412145-6

"This pleated paper air filter element is approximately 8-Inches high and 3.5-Inches wide. The purpose of the air filter is to prevent the blower from inhaling dirt and debris that can clog up or damage the engine. A dirty or damaged filter disrupts the air flow essential for mixing with the fuel to power the engine. To ensure they are filtering the air before reaching the carburetor, it is crucial that they are kept clean and well-maintained and replaced when needed. They should be checked at least once a year depending on use. Some common signs that indicate a dirty air filter include loss of power, issues starting, and increased fuel consumption. When you are inspecting it and notice it is covered in oil, the fibrous material is torn or there are any cracks around the filter, it will need to be replaced immediately. For this repair you will need to first, disconnect the spark plug and remove the air filter cover to access it. Once it is removed, pull it out of position and insert the new filter into the base. Reinstall the cover and reconnect the spark plug. "
