Today I ran the tank dry on my 13-year old Toro snowblower and noticed that the muffler/exhaust was exhibiting a lot of bouncing/vibration (lots of movement). The engine was pretty much stationary.
I looked in the owners manual to see if it showed how the muffler is mounted (perhaps with flexible mounts), but there is no mention of anything about the engine in the manual other than spark plug change and gas/oil fuel mixture. It has the GTS engine.
It seems to have acted like this for a while, but I'm asking if anyone knows if this is normal. It almost looked like it was ready to fall off and since I have at least 8 months before I'll need to use it again, I should have ample opportunity to fix it if necessary.
