Restore Maximum Engine Airflow & Prevent Cylinder Dusting: Genuine Briggs & Stratton Filter

Eliminate dirt bypass, carburetor jet fouling, engine power loss, and premature cylinder bore scoring on your riding mower. This Genuine Briggs & Stratton Factory OEM Air Filter Cartridge (Part Number 794422) is the authentic pleated-paper air filter engineered explicitly for Briggs & Stratton 14.5 HP through 21 HP single-cylinder OHV Intek and PowerBuilt engines (directly replacing prior part numbers 797008, 698083, and 697634 / Retail Code 5077K) . Operating an air-cooled small engine with a clogged or poorly fitting aftermarket filter starves the carburetor of intake air, driving up fuel consumption and allowing abrasive lawn grit into the crankcase.

Instead of gambling with unbranded aftermarket copy filters that feature irregular pleat spacing and stiff plastic perimeter frames that fail to compress properly, installing this authentic factory component ensures true OEM engine protection. Manufactured by Briggs & Stratton with high-efficiency resin-treated cellulose filter media, this cartridge features uniform, micro-fine pleats designed to trap sub-micron dirt particles while delivering high-volume airflow. Its flexible, precision-molded elastomeric perimeter seal features an integrated lift-handle tab that locks firmly into the air cleaner housing base, ensuring 100% airtight compression when the cover knob is secured.

This authentic factory replacement component is cataloged under Briggs & Stratton OEM Part Number 794422 (Filter, Air Cleaner Cartridge) and directly supersedes / replaces prior OEM Part Numbers 797008, 698083, and 697634 (also known as retail blister pack numbers 5077 and 5077K ).

🛠️ Pro-Maintenance Tip: Watch the "Air Box Sump Wipe & Seal Seating Secret!" Air Box Cleanout Secret: When removing your dirty filter, never leave the carburetor intake throat exposed while blowing off the engine shroud! Place a clean shop towel directly over the carburetor throat, then use a damp cloth to wipe out all fine dust accumulated in the bottom of the plastic air box sump before installing the new 794422 filter. Pre-Cleaner Foam Pairing: If you operate your tractor in dusty conditions or attach a grass catcher bagger, pair this paper cartridge with a genuine foam pre-cleaner sleeve (Briggs #697015). Lightly oil the foam sleeve to capture coarse grass chaff on the outside, which extends the service life of this pleated paper cartridge.
