189 and I'm Doin' Fine 'Cuz it's Repack Time

Not much time for typing this morning because I'm gonna' skeedaddle on over to the garage and repack my muffler on the firebreather WR-250FY.

Basically, the muffler uses the time-honoured technique of soft fiberglass wrapped around a perforated core to absorb sound as the exhaust pulses pass through it and exit the muffler.
Over time, the fiberglass must be replaced.
While I can't detect an increase in sound output yet, I want to do this before I do.

You do remember the definition of the word "maintenance", correct? :)
