Can anyone tell me if all lawnmowers have an air filter? I would think
so, but I can't find one on my machine. My instruction book does not
mention air filters, at all.


Thanks.

Ok, I will search for it. I am hoping it is a foam filter, as I know
how to clean those. Never had a paper one.

Thanks.


I must have missed something...did someone mention a "paper one"?
These are the pricier automotive type on some mowers and riders.

I found the air filter. It is right where I thought it was, but my
neighbor told me that I don't want to mess around in that area. LOL
I googled youtube and there was a guy cleaning an air filter on a Murray
lawnmower with a Briggs & Stratton motor.

I have a paper filter by the way, and it was filthy.
