Anyone have any ideas how to quiet my riding mower with a 10 hp
Tecumseh engine,It looks like a cheap muffler for what I know about
mufflers,I replaced it with the same model muffler,no change in the
noise,which told me my old muffler was ok,does anyone have any ideas
how I can quiet it.10hp murray riding mower with a Tecumseh engine.12yr
old mower,runs great otherwise.


You are fighting a loosing battle. A lot of the noise comes from the
intake and a lot just from the engine block. I've seen people go to
great trouble to mount auto mufflers to various equipment and it does
not make much difference. If it absolutely must be quieter, look for a
replacement Honda or Kawasaki engine. They are far quieter engines.
