(Mower) Using a 1/2" drive with a 15/16" socket,

With the cover and exhaust pipe removed, you can
see into the passage leading to the exhaust port of
the engine (A) and passage to the muffler (B). If
the exhaust requires cleaning, remove the engine
and separate the engine and base for access to
the exhaust ports. If the muffler requires cleaning,
it can be removed by removing the 2 screws on
either side of the muffler passage (see Figure 8)
and one through the side of the muffler (see A in
Figure 9). Use a stick of wood to scrape the
carbon loose. Do not use a metal scraper.
