B&S 402707 to noisy for children

[Xen]

There is a older local man that has converted a lawn mower into a train engine that pulls handmade cars behind it.
He uses it in parades and local shows. The problem is that the noise from the engine (B&S 402707-124001) exceeds a level that is good for children. Anyone have an idea to make this engine really quite?

Was the muffler removed? Here is a link for a new one.

Motor is in original condition.

Make him move to Washington!!!!!!!

Just kidding...

His old muffler likely has a bunch of holes in it that may not be readily visible.

But I am not sure of your post. Is he willing to go along with your intervention?

 

[Xen]

The word cooperation would be more appropriate then intervention.
There are several of us, including the owner of this train trying to resolve the noise level problem so children are not harmed.

 

[Fish]

Wrong word: cooperation.

noun
noun: cooperation; noun: co-operation

the process of working together to the same end

Yeah? What does this mean?

 

[Fish]

I could correct the title as well.

B&S 402707 "TOO" noisy for children.

So are you going to "sue" this poor man for wanting to give some kids a ride?

This conversation has ended.

Sorry that it took so long for me to get back to you. What you need is an after market muffler. You may need to do some modifying to get this one too work but I have heard they are very quiet.

Thank you for your response. Rather expensive (we remember the $3 muffler) but looks like it will work.
I will show it to the others and see if we can make it work.

Again thank you.
