Hissing from muffler
My buddy has a G14 that just stopped running one day. He hasn't been able to figure out what was wrong with it. Replaced the carb, fuel pump and battery and it would not run. I went over today and the starter belt was slipping so I tightened that up and got it to turn over. It will turn over a few times and stop running. After it stops running there's a hissing noise that comes from the muffler. You can put your finger over the end and it stops. Plugged muffler?

Re: Hissing from muffler
He might have too much oil in the motor, I told him to change it and put only one quart in.

Re: Hissing from muffler
Could be oil. I'd look at the valves too just as a precaution. If the cart runs good the muffler wouldn't be plugged up. Does the cart smoke?

Re: Hissing from muffler
He changed the oil today. That's not the problem. His son was driving it around the yard and it just quit one day. It will turn over a few times and then it stops. Almost like it's not breathing through the muffler. You get a little air once the motor stops turning over and it sounds like a tire leaking from the muffler. I had him spray the exhaust bolts with some penetrating spray. Going to try pulling the muffler tomorrow and see what happens. Try blowing some compressed air through the muffler once it is off and see if there is any flow.
Can you cook the G14 muffler too? |
