Additional information
This engine muffler stud threads into the engine block and provides a mounting point for the muffler. Part number 951-11207 helps keep the muffler aligned and securely attached so exhaust gases flow as intended.
If the stud breaks, strips, or loosens, the muffler may rattle, shift out of position, or leak exhaust at the mounting point. You might notice increased engine noise, vibration, or visible movement of the muffler during operation.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Allow the engine and exhaust components to cool completely before working in the muffler area, and handle the stud carefully to avoid cross-threading during installation.
