Exhaust Leaks
UISSING noises, heard around the driving compartment, may be leaks m the exhaust connections caused by a clogged muffler. 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 vapor that can't get through must leak out somewhere. 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 m the right order. •-.-• . . ; It is more practical to replace cheap mufflers than to repair or clean them.
