Although today's gas-powered garden tools are built for long-lasting and reliable operation, making sure every tool's engine filter is in clean, working condition is important to protect your outdoor power equipment.  Extend your tools’ working lives with replacement engine air filters at Ace Hardware.

What Does an Engine Air Filter Do?

An engine filter removes particles and dirt from the air before it enters the engine, making sure fuel burns cleanly and efficiently. This clean air is vital for the engine to start reliably and protects against damaging carbon deposit build-up. For example, a lawn mower air filter will catch the scraps of cut grass and other debris churned up by the blades, stopping them from clogging up the engine or interfering with efficient fuel burning.

When You Might Need a New Small Engine Air Filter

In certain cases, cleaning the engine filter may be enough to make your tools work correctly again, and we stock specialized cleaning kits to make this easy. But if the filter is badly soiled, soaked in oil, or has cracks, holes or other damage, then a replacement is the sensible choice to protect your equipment's engine. Here are a few ways to tell if you need a new small engine filter:

  • Worn Out Filter: When a lawn mower filter is starting to wear out, it becomes less easy for the engine to draw on clean air to mix with the fuel. The tool will slowly but surely become less powerful, with lower horsepower outputs and reduced efficiency.
  • Clogged Filters: A clogged filter could be at fault if you find your regular yard tasks are taking more effort than usual. Poor filters also mean the engine burns fuel less efficiently, increasing its gas consumption and making your tools more costly to run.
  • Struggling Ignition: The lack of clean air means the engine can struggle to get started at all. If pressing the ignition produces sputtering, stalling and power surges rather than smooth engine turnover, then a faulty filter is the most likely cause.

Easy Lawnmower Air Filter Replacement

If you decide an engine filter needs replacing, you may not need to rush your lawn mower to the repair shop. Modern engine filter designs are built for easy replacement, and, depending on your mower model, you can usually do the job just by undoing a few screws or catches, with no specialist tools or knowledge required. For best use, always consult your manufacturer’s instructions.
