Additional information

This engine air shield mounts near the engine shrouding and helps guide cooling air across the engine surfaces. Part number 951-11113 works with other cooling components to keep airflow moving where it is needed during normal operation.

If the air shield is cracked, bent, or missing, airflow around the engine can become uneven. This may cause higher operating temperatures, overheating during extended use, or debris collecting around engine components.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting installation to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the air shield carefully during removal and installation, and watch for sharp edges around nearby engine parts.
