A worn or damaged air cleaner cover forces your Murray mower's engine to work harder, reducing efficiency and shortening equipment life. Repair Clinic stocks genuine OEM air cleaner covers and caps designed for precise fitment on your specific Murray model. These protective housings keep dirt, debris, and moisture away from critical engine parts, ensuring clean air intake every time you mow.
Don't settle for aftermarket substitutes that don't seal properly or fit awkwardly. Our Murray air cleaner cover parts snap right into place and protect your engine investment. A cracked cover, missing clips, or loose fit means contaminated air reaches your engine—and that leads to fouled spark plugs and poor starting.
Locate your model number on the engine shroud and order the exact cover your Murray needs today.
Replace your air cleaner cover if you notice visible cracks, missing tabs or clips, a loose seal, or daylight visible around the edges when fully installed. A damaged cover allows unfiltered air and debris to reach your engine, causing rough starting, loss of power, and fouled spark plugs. Even small cracks compromise the seal and reduce mowing performance.
No—the cover is the plastic housing that protects the air filter element inside. The filter itself is the replaceable foam or paper cartridge that traps dust and pollen. You may need both: a new cover if it's cracked or broken, and a new filter element if it's clogged or dirty. Check your manual to see if your model uses separate or combined covers.
If clips or fasteners broke off, you'll need a new cover for a proper seal. Attempting to tape or glue a broken cover will fail during operation and allow dirt into your engine. OEM covers are inexpensive and ensure your engine runs cleanly—replacement takes just minutes with basic tools.
The cover is typically located on top of the engine, held by two or three plastic clips or bolts. No special tools are needed—press the clips outward or unscrew the fasteners, lift the cover away, and check the filter element underneath. Most Murray models allow easy access without removing other parts, making this a straightforward DIY repair.

Murray typically prints the lawn mower model number on the engine shroud, though some models show it on the frame near the blade deck or under the seat. Look for a rating label with the model and serial information, and copy the characters exactly, including letters, numbers, and hyphens. Type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit. This model number applies to the entire mower, so it filters the full selection across every associated part category. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
