Looking for dimensions of the foam air cleaner inner support for this engine. I'm guessing it is 2-1/2" ID about 2-7/8" long, not sure on the OD dimension.

Friend of a friend's engine that I rebuilt the carb for. Now needing the insert for the foam air filter. If any of you have a picture of what they look like along with true dimensions I'd sure appreciate it if you could post for me. Friend has someone that will 3D print it if I get get dimensions.

2nd picture from internet, 3rd pic of what is being used now. I can't see it allowing enough air flow. I have no history on this engine.

That's where I took the black item pic from. Confusing measurements in description 4.45" length? No ID/OD dimensions Thanks!

From your picture is looks like it is 3.45 tall by 2.85 OD and from the other picture in the link I posted appears to be 2ish ID,

Thanks IL
The 3.45 tall won't fit, the height of the air filter top cover is only 2 -3/4" tall

Hopefully someone here has this item in their hot little hands and can do a measure.

Briggs part #280002 is the correct part number. With a little searching you should be able to find a new one.

That would be too easy for the owner, he's squeaky cheap. But I'm in Canada so it will be over $60 cdn to get it to the door. His friend will 3d print for free if I can determine exact dimensions. If up to me, it would be ordered already instead of wasting my time & others hunting for more info. Thanks!

EBay has bunches of them for chump change.
