AIR FILTER
Level 1
Tools required: 25 or 50 mm (1 or 2 in.) Cleaning brush
Parts required: 90030 REPOWER TM Air & Fuel Filter Kit
1. Close choke (Cold Start Position [ ]). This prevents dirt from
entering the carburetor throat when the air filter is removed.
Brush accumulated dirt from the air cleaner area.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover. Clean and inspect the element for
damage. If element is fuel soaked and very dirty, replace.
3. If element can be cleaned and reused, be certain it:
• still fits the cavity in the air cleaner cover.
• is installed with the original side out.
NOTE
Carburetor adjustment may be needed after air filter cleaning or
replacement. See Carburetor Adjustment Section.

into a hook, clean rag, funnel, and an approved fuel
container.
