can force dirt and debris deeper into engine cavities and
crevices. Do not use a pressurized water spray as water
intrusion can contaminate both oil and fuel systems and
lead to corrosion.
1. Remove spark plug wire from spark plug terminal.
Secure spark plug wire to prevent contact with spark
plug terminal.
2. Clean area around and behind muffler. Proceed as
follows:
A. Remove all loose debris by hand.
B. Remove dust and dirt with a soft bristle brush and
a portable hand held vacuum.
C. Gently scrape away stubborn accumulations of dirt
and other deposits using a plastic putty knife or stiff
bristle brush.
D. Apply a light solvent to bristle brush to loosen and
remove grit and oily residue, if necessary.
3. Remove three hex flange screws to release wire guard
or stamped guard from muffler.
4. Inspect muffler for holes, split seams, cracked welds,
loose internal parts, corrosion, and other damage.
5. Inspect muffler tube and mounting flange for cracked
welds, breakage, and other damage.
