Cheers NormK and Pau13z,
When I get around to it i'll have a look at how bad the exhaust outlet is on the engine, it's been sitting for years it might be a bit rough and i'll use some sort of silicone if it needs it.
Yes NormK, don't worry I know all about the ear muffs mate..lol
You know how loud a full crank can get at full revs when your mowing for over 1 hour. When you stop the mower and your ears are still ringing for a while it's probably a bit too loud, not to good for your hearing. Ear muffs or plugs are great if your mowing for a long time with a loud mower that's for sure.
Cheers!
