Product Description

Muffler Specifications

This replacement muffler/shield assembly is supplied directly from the original equipment manufacturer for use with Briggs and Stratton engines that are commonly installed on lawn and garden equipment. The purpose of a muffler is to reduce the noise from the engine's exhaust. Over time it may wear out and it can get clogged eventually requiring a replacement to ensure engine's peak performance. It is a high-quality metal body component which is sold individually. A small wrench will be needed to perform this repair.

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Could not keep an aftermarket muffler on the engine.
Once I determined what OEM muffler I needed, installation was relatively easy. I have a 1982 4hp Briggs on my Snapper tiller. There was a 90* galvanized elbow coming out of the exhaust port, with a bezel nut to lock it down. Do not remove the elbow, even though it appears that you should. If you install the muffler without the elbow the muffler will parallel the the vacuum for the carburetor and can melt the rubber couplers. Use the elbow to direct the heat away from the carburetor. Use a pipe wrench to lock down the bezel nut because the weight of the muffler, especially under vibration, can work loose and fall down on the tine belt cover and melt it. The bezel nut that comes with the muffler should also be used to lock down the muffler to the threaded intake bracket that comes with the muffler, not to replace the bezel nut for the elbow.
