Additional Information
The snowblower engine muffler assembly, part number 951-11195, mounts to the engine exhaust port to quiet exhaust noise and route gases safely away from engine components. Proper exhaust flow helps the engine run smoothly while limiting excessive noise.
You might notice the engine sounds much louder than normal, produces rattling or popping noises, or shows visible exhaust leaks near the muffler area. Rusted surfaces, loose mounting points, or cracks in the muffler can also affect exhaust flow.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The muffler mounts near hot engine surfaces and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Allow the engine to cool fully, secure the muffler evenly, and tighten all fasteners before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
