50 Hour Service on my G3033

[Short Game]

Both my CubCadet 7300 and the LS R4010 have the exhaust lower front left, maybe 18 inches below the filters' air intakes. My LS had the air intake on the bottom of the canister and I rotated it to the top and gained about 8 inches more relief from the exhaust exit.

It has been my experience with my 7*** Cubs that after blowing the dust away for many cycles, it is the soot that finally wins the day, and with all the dust blown away, the rubber tube to the intake of the engine goes flat from vacuum. I have to assume the paper element, when totally black, is sealed with that very fine soot. I haven't used up the first air filter on the LS yet. Still drawing easy there.

I installed one of those air filter monitors into the plastic housing that holds the air filters.. works pretty good.

That has to be better than waiting for the hose to collapse. :thumbsup:

Where does one find those?

 

[boomer632]

I think I got it online at something like jc Whitney or something. They are pretty easy to find.

Here where I live, in the 19th century, there are not credit cards or online transactions. Should I try some auto parts stores?

Short Game, here is an amazon link

Wix 24801 Air Filter Monitor Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive

Napa carrys them under part # FIL 4801

I cant recall, but I think I have seen them at advance auto parts too, although I cant find them on their website.

That looks like the monitor is in front of the filter. Wouldn't if have to be on the filtered air side to measure the suction? Maybe I'm not getting it....
