As part of my mission to service and restore an old Mighty Mite that is in running but arguably poor condition, I'd like to check the muffler for a blocked screen and possibly remove it if it's clogged up, but unlike a lot of larger chainsaws with a more "bolt-on" style muffler, this one seems so well integrated into the housing that the only evidence I see of it is a small slit from which all the smoke and gunk sputters out. I've looked around for videos or other instructions on how to get access to the muffler but haven't found anything yet. Does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to access/remove the muffler or at the very least get enough of it off to access the screen? I don't really need to rip everything apart if there's a cheat for accessing the screen but any help would be appreciated for at least getting that far. Thanks.
