Red hot briggs 5 hp muffler!
Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem with my log splitter. Just bought it well used for $500 off the internet. Briggs and stratton 5 hp engine with a tube style muffler. Not the flat kind. Looks like it will be a great deal of trobble to remove. I was thinking about replacing it because it gets RED HOT when I use the splitter even after 5 minutes. I mean red hot like glowing and making metal tinking sounds. The engine runs good and it splits wood like no other. I have not used the splitter for more than 15 minutes total as I just got it but the old owner said he never had a problem but who knows. Any help would be appreciated!
