How Would I clean the Water Muffler

Post by Gary H »

Does a water muffler require maintenance? I imagine it could collect carbon which could restrict floe of exhaust. The muffler is not accessible on the 22D without removing the engine. I am wondering if my inability to get rpm’s above 27k could be due to soot blockage. The exhaust elbow is clean.
