My muffler header pipe got a crack in it near 1st cylinder and completely fell off a few weeks ago so I had a friend do some fabricating and installed my son's concoction of a motorcycle muffler on it. It was working fine with no muffler but loud as ****. My son changed the oil and hydraulic filter the day before the fabrication and we drove it back on the trailer in a rainstorm and now it won't hardly run at all. Today, I took the muffler off....no difference.....took the air filter off....no different. Yesterday, it was at least somewhat running although as soon as it heated up a little, it would start cutting out a lot but today, I was lucky if I could keep it running a few minutes and then it would finally die. Next step is to spray some carb cleaner in the carberator (had some surging problems once after cleaning air filter and evidently got some dirt in the carb and the carb cleaner corrected the problem).
Anyone else have any suggestions? We obviously screwed something up. I will take some pictures of the muffler tomorrow.
