I have a briggs 190402 8hp on my Toro snowblower. the engine is a replacement and is a 1972 vintage.
It runs really good but the thing is so loud I have to wear hearing protection when I operate it
If I warm it up on my driveway I can hear it plain as day in the house.
I'm going to replace the mufflerwith another briggs one but I don't want to if it won't make it any quieter
Any suggestions to bring down the noise level?
PS we've had 50 cm of snow this month in Winnipeg( 20 inches for you non-metric types)
thanks
Doug
