Default Loosing Power

Just so happens it happened to me last week. Loosing power, then within a short period of time no power. Had it scheduled for service last Wednesday. Tried driving it from Hadley to Brownwood. I got to the Colony Rec Ctr. had to call Cart Aid. Thankfully I had that, it would've been $100 just for the tow. Anyway, They put the backing plates on which is why it was going in for service in the first place. $79 each. They go on the rear wheels I guess. They had been on back order, they claimed they had 150 scheduled to put on. Not sure what they do. But covered by warranty. And, they replaced the muffler. $279. Claimed it was totally clogged. The steel wool like material in the mufflers of the newer quiet tech engines becomes clogged. I know a number of people having the same issue. Not sure if the replacement muffler has the same spark arrestor. Sounds like a factory defect to me. The diagram that someone showed above, explains it.
