| I have a snapper 4hp push mower. I bought it from a yard sale and it is ver loud. I thought it needed a new muffler, but that didnt fix it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to quiet it down? Thanks |

| IF ITS SELF PROPELLED CHECK THE DISC BEARING THATS THE PULLY DISC THAT MOUNTS TO THE DECK , WHEN THAT BABY GOES IT SOUNDS REALLY LOUD. |

| Does the noise sound like the exhaust? If so those older smaller engines did not have much of a muffler so the exhaust has quite a sharp loud tone under the best conditions. |

| No it is not self propelled. It does sound like either exhaust or just a loud engine. There is no grinding or other odd sound. I did put a new muffler on it. Do you think that is just how it is supposed to sound? Thanks for the replies! |

| Yes that is the likely cause. |

| You might also make sure it isn't over-speeding. I had one that the governor was set wrong on and it was extremely loud. |
