Hitachi 6696549 T/CG24EASPSL Air Cleaner Assembly

I have a Tanaka leaf blower. I believe this is the industrial version of the Hitachi one. I was on the front line all day blowing leaves all over the property, when I realized that the lid to my air cleaner and the air filter element were gone....I was so sad, cuz i love my Tanaka and she always starts on the first pull...As a natural reaction I head over to the Hitachi/Tanaka people and start looking around, and they want twice what I paid for this get up for just the lid and little foam element. I looked all over the place and then, Duh, I said, let me look on Amazon. I found this entire air cleaner assembly complete with primer bulb and air filter. Everything you need. I read all these reviews elsewhere about how you need the bulb eventhough you dont think you do. So I bought it. It came quickly. Without watching any Youtube videos or anything, it was literally 2 screws. Oh yeah, I had to get out some needle nosed pliers to gently persuade the fuel lines off. All in all, off and back on in less than 5 minutes, no exaggerating at all. Primed her up and turned her on. 1st pull every time. I went ahead and ordered a 2nd one at this price, just to be ready for the next front yard casualty. P.S. The lid has a much more positive lock upon shutting than the original equipment, so I may never need the 2nd one!

Just what was needed for repair.

This was easy to replace. An animal ( I suspect a rat) chewed my last one. Removed and replaced. Started up on the 4th pull.

This is a perfect replacement for my Hitachi leaf blower and is a good value as it comes with a new priming bulb. Will purchase again!

Easy to install. This does come with a air filter.

Works perfectly and installation was 5 minutes!

5 minute install. Perfect fit. Blower is good as new. Would buy again.

Easy to install. Mine needed replacing after using the blower for 6 years

After the first use, the primer bulb would not expand. Expecting a replacement in a few days. Hope it is better.

I used this as a replacement for the original piece on my Hitachi leaf blower. The original assembly was not latching close anymore which was a problem during start-up. This assembly worked perfectly. Happy with the purchase.
