Does anyone know where the spark arrestor screen is located? The "2-MIX" version of the FS38 that I have seems to only have a small(er), non-threaded muffler hole:

Thanks.

Looks like someone had already completely removed the spark arrester.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I initially thought as well, but by the diameter of the hole, it can't be. There are also no threads there.

I not thinking they simply unscrewed it but rip it out. Either way you need a new muffler PN 4140 140 0611; unless, they have superseded it. and the spark arrester PN 4140 140 6903 (USA, CDN) or 4140 140 6904 (AUS) which may have been superseded too. This is because my parts list is from 2015.
