coleman generator air filter too large

[pawandmaw]

I have a model195432 type 074401 briggs 8hp, the new air filter Is about a 1/4 taller than the old one. The cover now lets the 1/4 of air filter exposed on the bottom around the cover, what effects will this have on the engine when it runs. I got air filter number 393957s, was there a different number for this, I looked it up and the shop I bought it from both found that air filter number and this was the replacement number.

As long as it's sealed at the top & bottom it will work fine. Briggs parts lookup: http://www.briggsandstratton.com/us/en/ ... als/engine
You do know the date code is needed for the correct ID of a lot of BS parts, right?

The engine numbers you provide show a completely different filter system.

With being a Coleman generator they may have used a slightly different filter. Do have the generator numbers? Also if you still have the old filter, what is inside, outside and height dimensions and what was it original part number?

Page 3 of the IPL shows his part.

I was using my vendors parts look-up for the type given which a totally different filter and wa just trying narrow things down. BTW there is K&N filter that fits that a different set of specs too.

But I give up...........

The height on the outside of the OLD filter is 3- 5/8, the width across outside to outside is 4 3/16, this inside id is 2 1/16

Don't if this helps much but here is the air filter dimensions that I found. It looks like the Stens K&N version is the closest the above specs, except the ID 5/16 larger. You will still have the 1/8 height issue so check your assembly of the air filter unit. It might just be an assembly issue or it might take changing the air filter intake mount to a different version from a donor engine.

If your issue is just with the out of air filter being exposed a little but the inside portion is seal tightly you should be fine. It will be just bottom portion could get wet easily.

Note: Inside ID is the air filter intake mounting hole.
