Clogging of Muffler '
Causes Power Loss
One of; the most frequent causes of
power losses is the clogging up or partial
stoppage of the muffler by Carlson. This
can be remedied by removing the muffler
and beating it with a mallet or piece of
wood. This loosens the carbon accumu
lation, so it can be blown through the
tail pipe - vr-
