SM-158 DISASSEMBLY MUFFLER - A clogged muffler (Key 116) will limit the VLD vacuum to less than the 19 to 25 inches of mercury. To check the muffler, compare the VLD vacuums produced with and without the muffler. If the difference between the vacuums ex- ceeds 3 inches of mercury, a clogged muffler is indicated, Unthread the muffler from the VLD.
