On second thought... Maybe by removing the muffler plug and running the engin for a period of time on a regular basis does blow-out some of the carbon build-up to help prevent the spark arrestor from clogging up. Just a guess... Clay</p>

If you've ever seen a spark arrestor stopped up, you would see that removing the plug would NOT be the fix of that situation. I know that Kubota might have good intentions with the plug thing. But, that would only remove only a small bit of what would be settled in the bottom of the muffler. The spark arrestor mesh,is in a packed situation. It takes removing it completely out of the muffler, and actually cleaning the item. There is only two choices a owner has, either remove it completely and leave the spark arrestor off, or constantly keep removing it and cleaning this thing. I myself, don't have no use for the arrestor, and knowing what I know now, anybody who don't run their machine on goverment property, just should remove it completely. For mine, was clogged up so bad with just a few hours of it being brand new, I didn't see how the damn machine even ran at all with it clogged up as it was..... But the plug thing in the bottom of the muffler, is not the answer for cleaning a spark arrestor at all..... </p>
