7.7 Air filter

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor,
reducing engine performance. If you operate the
engine in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more
often than specified in the MAINTENANCE SCHED-
ULE.
m NOTE
Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a
damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
This type of damage is not covered by the Distribu-
tor's Limited Warranty.
Inspection (Fig.14/16/19)
Remove the air filter cover (14a/16b) and inspect the
filter elements (14d/16d/16e). SClean or replace dirty
filter elements. Always replace damaged filter ele-
ments. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also
check the oil level. (19a).

several times on a hard surface to remove dirt,
or blow compressed air [not exceeding 207 kPa
(2.1 kgf/cm , 30 psi)] through the filter element
fromthe inside. Never try to brush off dirt; brush-
ing will force dirt into the fibers.
Foam filter element (16e): Clean in warm soapy
water, rinse, and allow to dry thoroughly. Or
clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.
Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, and
then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will
smoke when started if toomuch oil is left in the
foam.
