Inspect Muffler and Spark Arrester
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester screen.
Inspect the muffler for cracks, corrosion, or other damage.
Remove the spark arrester and inspect for damage or carbon
blockage. If replacement parts are required, make sure to
use only original equipment replacement parts.
Clean and inspect the spark arrester as follows:
1. To remove muffler heat shield (A)frommuffler(B),
remove four screws that connect guard to muffler
bracket.
2. Remove four screws that attach spark arrester screen (C).
3. Inspect screen and obtain a replacement if torn,
perforated or otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a
defective screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with
commercial solvent.
4. Reattach screen and muffler guard.
Clean Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins
and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly.
For this reason, we recommend you have a Briggs &
Stratton authorized dealer clean the cooling system (D) per
recommended intervals (see Maintenance Schedule in the
Maintenance section). Equally important is to keep top of
engine free from debris. Also see Cleaning.
