I just purchased a used Cub 5252 and the muffler is getting extremely hot. It also backfires when I shut it off. Can anyone give me an idea what the problem is?
My Kohler Command 25 hp backfires when shutting off and one recommendation in the manual that works for me is to use wide-open throttle. What I do is run it at fast idle and just as I turn off the ignition switch I push the throttle full open. Works every time. I had the same problem with an old 1450.
