   Remove the cover of your lawn mowers air filter

2. Find any markings on it to identify brand, model, etc.
   If yuo are unsure of which kind to use, consult your owners manual or the manufacturers website for more details on what to use. Your local Home Depot or Lowes are also good resources if unsure.

on 8/12/2008 Make sure you don't knock dirt into the carb opening when changing the filter.Also, change or clean the filter more often if it is dry conditions outside.A dirty filter can cause the spark plug to foul out.
