very hot, allow it to cool before proceeding.
1. Loosen the screw next to the exhaust port of the muffler
and remove the spark arrestor.
2. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark
arrestor screen (see Fig. 17). Inspect the screen
for breaks or tears and replace it if necessary.
3. Install the spark arrestor in the reverse order of removal.
