Question 109Motor Plants - QMED70% to pass
A dry-type exhaust silencer clogged with soot, will cause _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) loss of engine power.
A clogged dry-type exhaust silencer can restrict the flow of exhaust gases, leading to an increase in back pressure in the engine's exhaust system. This increased back pressure will cause a loss of engine power, as the engine has to work harder to expel the exhaust gases. The other options are incorrect - a clogged silencer would not lead to low exhaust temperature (A), burned intake valves (C), or engine racing (D).
