Air filters

If you want to do it on your own equipment go ahead, but if you are in business NEVER on a customers unit, unless you have great liability insurance.

Just a home owner.

Anything more than heavy grease sounds like a waste of time. Even under heavy home use, it takes my oil so long to turn brown that I wonder if changing it every year is throwing money away. It probably is but whatever it gives me the feels, rock on bruhs.

What kind of filter are we talking about here? Paper or foam? If foam, are you oiling it. A dry foam filter will let dirt by.

Most pushers use a paper filter.

On one of my old Snapper pushers, has a round paper filter with a foam pre filter. I oiled (saturated) the pre filter and still had dirt past the filterS. Scalping is a filthy dirty job.

Only thing I can do is try gluing the filter down. Grease doesn't seem to be a 100% fix action either.

Just which Brigg are we discussing here so know what filter setup the OP have?

I have two push mowers. One has a paper filter, one has foam. The new small Briggs engines without chokes... have foam filters.

I have been using a thin bead on silicone grease on my car air filters and some of my riders. Seems to pick up a lot of dust and cleans off with a rag. I recommend this to you gents.

Good idea. I do something similar by cutting a piece of air conditioner foam, oversized to the filter and air filter cover and spray it with K&N air filter oil. I do this on my Little Wonder blower, push mower and tractor.
