I recently had my 11-year-old VICTA MUSTANG 18 2-stroke lawnmower serviced. They replaced the whole plastic carb unit, sparkplug, blades, filter, rings. Now it starts up with usually one pull...I'm happy about that. But when I put the lever down to run at full throttle the noise and vibration is so so much louder than before. I have to sometimes run it close to the START position on the controls just because the engine is so loud. I noticed they haven't replaced the muffler on the front cause its all rusty and very hot after using mower. Can anyone help me on this? What has the serviceman done or hasn't done.
Cheers,
Tony
