Is a pre-filter a must? (Tecumseh OH195EP)
While having a carburetor rebuilt at a Tecumseh service center, I asked if they sold the air filters for the OH195EP engine. They only had the outer filter in stock but I was told that the pre-filter was not needed, unless the engine was used on grass cutting machinery. I explained the engine was for a go kart and used on dirt but he still insisted it wasn’t needed. He also said that pre-oiling the pre-filter wasn’t required either.
A pre-filter is only about $5.00 but isn’t it really not necessary like the tech said?
