KUBOTA VERSUS HAMMER...This fixed my sluggish diesel Side by Side!

What happens here

After cleaning, re-install the spark arrester, ensuring all bolts (two 14mm and one 12mm) are securely tightened. The video shows the owner tightening the bolts with a ratchet. Next, test the vehicle's performance by driving it on an uphill incline and observing the speedometer. The previous uphill speed was 10-13 mph, but after cleaning, it easily reaches 15-16 mph, indicating a significant improvement.

Goal: Confirm restored power and acceleration by re-testing the vehicle after spark arrester cleaning.
