Clean your spark arrestor!

I'm sure everyone pretty much knows that if you have a spark arrestor, CLEAN IT REGULARLY! I haven't cleaned my in a lil while and found this. Could also be my Powercore 4 unwrapping too. Just thought I'd give a friendly reminder!

It must be motoworks. Thats not stock. Is that the muffler packing? Because the stock exhaust doesn't do that.

spark arresters stop forest fires and packing increases horspower and decreases sound
