The XT149 air filter is a two piece set for walk mower engines. The pleated paper element has yellowish white media in a red rubber sealing frame, with a white wire guard on one side, and it comes with a black foam prefilter pad. The foam stands in front and stops clippings, moisture and coarse dust; the paper element sits behind it and catches the fine dust, the two layers protecting the cylinder. The foam can be taken out, washed in water, dried and refitted, and that is part of normal care. The paper element is a consumable: replace it when the media turns grey and dark or the pleats flatten, and do not wash the paper. When fitting, face the wire guard toward the foam side and match the old part's position instead of reversing it. XT149 engines take this filter; for other similar engines, compare the old part's shape and frame size before ordering, or send a photo to confirm.
