I normally bend over, get in most awkward position I can manage to get into and lift it up on my work bench. Shoot, most of the time I only pull a muscle or two.

I've always oiled the foam air filters. Works great. Carburetor stays clean and runs great.

Back in the late 70s I took a broken down Toro we had in the garage to my shop class as a project, it was required as part of the class. It turns out it needed a new camshaft, it was broken right in the middle. I never did figure out how that happened. That was my favorite class by far.

no mess method, put the filter in a plastic baggie, use little oil, squeeze until its all worked thru

You need to SOAK the filter in oil and wring out excess.

My dad had a two stroke lawn boy back in the 70’s cut great

Great video. They were great mowers I wish they still made them. I like your mower lift i need one of those. LOL

Another great video, thank you!!!

You just reminded me, I need to service the filter on our B & S powered mower. Thanks for sharing.

I have never oiled a filter like that, had no clue you could even do that. I would normally just grab some kind of spray lubricant and give it a shot or two. Will be doing that from now on.

I still use one... 4HP Lawn Boy gold series. Although I threw a rod last summer (pushed it too hard??? Oil was mixed!) and had to find another. And did. Lots of power and easy on gas.

Mr J I try and use a heat gun and flat metal or even wooden forms to get warps out it actually works I was very surprised when you said you do it also !

What about the ex air filter the one that has 2 holes do I oil it?

I clean foam filter exactly as you do except my last step is to use a couple of paper towels and squish to really remove excess. Any problem with that? Thanks, always great videos! Keep them coming!

Cool lift👍

Have a quick answer this new cheap mowers do we use 50:1 gas

It would be interesting to have a video on maintaining those chainsaw filters. Good video here. Never thought about oiling this style of filter

Wow! I've never seen your hands so clean. How about a video showing your secret?

Where did you get that lift??

Are those prescribed safety glasses? I need some, just curious if you like them

They are! I got them at my optometrist. They weren’t cheap!

I wash those foam filters with petrol. ;) My $5 Victa lasted 45 years mowing a 1 acre property. :P (oh, and we used to just use normal engine oil for the 25/1 fuel mixture). I really enjoyed you video, but I won't be using that 'purple' stuff! LOL Cheers! Mick

Can’t educate the ignorant. Oh well

Would WARM (not HOT) Water work better with the PURPLE POWER better? And if your "Crafty", you could make your won OPEN CELL FOAM FILTERS by purchasing the material at your local Craft/Material Store!

I would not use a thick oil like that it will not flow through the filter or wick through it like it should

I have been cleaning these wrong for yrs.

Watch at 1.75 speed

60 years old on my second mower mow the strippers lawn every week

A cap full of oil is sufficient 😂

100/1 amsoil

I think China cloned those Suzuki 2 smokers from 2010? Im not to sure.

Nitrile gloves! Skin is permeable. You don’t want any of this stuff getting into your system.

I disagree. You should clean the foam filter with Kerosene, then oil it.

No, no you shouldn’t. Solvents change the composition of the foam, Have you ever taken a foam filter out that just literally crumbled in your hand? Yeah I bet you have and those are the ones that were washed in solvents.

​@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 So a air filter that is design to work with an engine that burns gasoline should be in contact with gasoline or it will change its composition?!? Where did you get that from? The only filters that I've seen that crubbles are very old and have never been oiled.
