5 HP CRAFTSMAN edger engine muffler is loud and leaks from crack in middle

[Craftsman Garage]

my 5 HP CRAFTSMAN edger engine has a crack in the muffler and is crazily loud, this has been a problem ever since I got the engine 1 year ago. Is there a way to seal the crack without buying a new muffler? would super glue work or gasket sealer? engine serial code: 100202 0015-01 6811127 craftsman edger model number: 536-83610 Thanks for any help provided.

Incorrect model number for edger.

As super glue work or gasket sealer a steak would work just well and at least you have dinner cooked.

buy a new muffler, it is rotted out too. Like $21 max

Now, Now you know a 1968 muffler will be just like a brand new one.

I’ll bet a repair shop in your area has a screw in muffler you could get for about $5 used $10 new. I know I’ve got at least two laying around somewhere.
