EXHAUST LEAKS CAUSE HISS
Hissing noises, heard around the driving compartment, may be leaks in the exhaust connections caused by a clogged mulflcr. A muffler is a natural carbon collector and with the result- that it. rapidly builds up back pressure on the engine through clogging. When the capacity of the muffler is exceeded some of the vapour that can’t get through must leak out somc : where. Thus the hissing of the gas as it escapes around the muffler and exhaust pipe connections. It is not such a difficult matter to clean a well-constructed muffler, but be sure to reassemble it with the shells in the right order. | It is more practical to replace cheap mufflers than to repair or clean them.
