Old Flymow air filter

[david lawrence]

Hi 

I found this in a customers shed and brought it home 

cleaned out tank and fuel lines off oily gunk and it ran fine

however air filter has disintegrated and I can’t find a replacement

any tips on where to find one

thanks

Good engines that Suzuki M120x. Remember selling them new. Unlikely to find ready new parts for that.......NOS is possible from an old dealer.

 

Flymo part number if you need it: 5195293-00/5

Thanks

perhaps I could rig a filter where the raised air intake pre filter is on  the ‘handlebars’ ??

some motorcycles  have round filters if you can measure the dimensions or take the case to a shop they might be able to help worth a punt

Google 'Suzuki m120x air filter' they're readily available . Handy thing for slopes and the Suzuki 2 stroke is superior to the Tecumseh or honda powered iterations.

Is there a  modern eqivalent/any new ideas for slopes?

 

I remember seeing one on being swung about on the end of a rope last yrs & thinking there must be some new ideas........

 

Was at Conwy castle round the base of the walls no room for large machines & alot of area of awarkward slopes, all very steep....

 

I know some fancy  remote control ones can do slopes but think thoose slopes were just to steep....for any other machines......

Here you go...as others have said. You could probably make one out of a lump of foam sponge which would work but I think this is the part. Probably a good idea to stick the foam pre filter around it as well.

I'm pretty sure my dad's Flymo had an air filter up on the handle which was lump of foam in an old tin can. That would have been late 70s.

The Flymo hovers fitted with the Tecumseh MV100 engine had the snorkel set up on the upper handle
