Parts for Honda GCV-160-A: Muffler Parts

This durable silver muffler can be used in both pressure washers and lawnmowers. The muffler connects with the engine's cylinder assembly to reduce the noise, sparks, and exhaust gases.

Some symptoms of a bad muffler include bad fuel economy, a loud engine, and leaking of exhaust fumes.Before replacing the muffler, the equipment should be placed on a flat surface and the spark plug wire should be removed. Remove the bolts that hold the original muffler to the tool. The muffler can then be taken off so the new replacement part can be installed. Replace any additional parts and test the equipment before use.This muffler is sold as an individual component. It is an authentic OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The muffler is created to work with lawnmowers and pressure washers manufactured by Honda, MTD, Lawn-Boy, Cub Cadet, Toro, and Briggs & Stratton.

Any small engine is installed into a lawn or garden machine with a variety of hardware. The machines typically take a lot of wear and tear, causing even the most durable mounting and securing hardware to loosen or fail.

This replacement flange bolt is designed for use in Honda, Lawn Boy, Toro and Honda Marine engines. It is compatible with hundreds of machines depending on various applications. This is an OEM replacement part that will require the appropriately sized wrench to remove or install properly. It ships individually.

This muffler gasket plays an essential but unappreciated role in the performance and upkeep of a small lawn engine. Between the muffler and the exhaust manifold, there is a tremendous heat exchange. The muffler gasket is meant to provide a seal between these two important parts of the engine. When the seal is compromised, exhaust can leak from the manifold. Not only does this create a new and unacceptable noise, but it directly impacts the combustion of the engine, which is designed to work with a well-attached muffling device. Since the gasket is a composite material and not made of steel or aluminum like the part surrounding it, it may wear out, experience cracks, and need to be replaced to assure the safety and performance of the engine. It is best to replace the factory original muffler gasket with an OEM certified manufactured part like this one that is guaranteed to match the specifications of the original. When removing the muffler, its condition should be carefully examined for rust and wear. If it's time to replace the gasket, the accompanying muffler might need to be replaced as well. This gasket is compatible with over 150 different engines, including those built by Toro, Honda, and Lawn Boy.
