How to change the spark arrestor on a riding mower.
. ...You are right, My yard machine is 660 thru 670 Mod 13DF675G062 13283918 HP X 42" SN 1H302H10059 MTD, I would appreciate if you have (the video on how to) "locate and clean the spark arrestor" Thank you.What is the make and model # on the engine? Without that info I would say spray some penetrating oil around the screws/bolts of the muffler cap [ exhaust outlet] let set awhile, then carefully remove the screws.
WHY ?
Just remove it and chunk it in the garbage can. If you cant get it apart poke a hole in it.Its no reason for a lawnmower to have a spark arester. Its basically a small screen in the muffler. Common on 2 strokes. They tend to build up carbon and kill engine performance. I know someone is going to say don't remove it . lol
