Hi,
I was interested in the comments on the muffler packing. I have one here that could be a little noisy to some ears. I found i could quieten a bit by squeezing in the output slot. Just a little difficult to know how much to squeeze it. What do you use for packing? How do you put it in and how do you know enough is enough? This muffler is sound though. If I open up that slot you would swear that there is no muffler at all.
Thanks
Jeff
I saw a you tube video on the subject of Victa mufflers. I just got a spare one I had when I had to replace a Power-speak
muffler recently. The replacement hardly had any of that metal mesh, so I just pulled the rest out of the old one with needle nose pliers, out of the inward port that goes into the barrel and pushed it all into the other one. I recall I pulled out two lengths of the mesh stuffing from the old one, so the replacement one had about three lots of mesh when I put it on. General rule of thumb is the mesh should easily fill up all the cavity without having to force any more in. Make sure it gets distributed around the sides of the interior and you should be set. It sounded like a different mower afterwards and also eliminated the over revving it was doing.
