Lane Ranger 11,057 #5 Posted December 3, 2019 Keeping it as is.. I will probably put new carb and check points and plug but this thin started and ran great after third pull on the starter rope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always wondered what it purpose was. What size holes does the muffler have in it? Does it have anything inside of it to muffle it? Seems like it would just be ear splitting if it had tiny holes in it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it would just be ear splitting if it had tiny holes in it! Don't remember what size holes but i do remember that it was just an empty chamber. I will look for it. Its here somewhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
