I have done similar modifications myself. You need a glass-packed resonator, an automotive mid-silencer and a small-engine muffler. After that you need to address the engine block noise - sound deaden the hood. And after that you need to fit quad tipped low lift blades to reduce deck noise. It never ends...
Almost seems like less work to convert it to electric... haha 😂 I need to build a new exhaust system for my old Victa 10-42... thought about experimenting with something along the lines of what you describe, and routing it out the back. It doesn't have much of a hood though, so might not get a great result, but might be a fun project.
@@GrantBurton I've done mine with a stick welder, not fun... I imagine you doing it a lot faster and better. To save you time, here are the parts you need for most single cylinder engines: - 155-2449 Onan exhaust resonator - 248-163 Bosal mid-silencer - 391569S Briggs & Stratton muffler
Very thorough repair. Good you have a welder.
Thanks 👍

@ Awesome, thanks… I’ll take a look.
You do nice work!
Thank you 😁
HI Grant, where did you buy the perforated plate?
EP Mufflers in Port Elizabeth but you could probably get it from any exhaust manufacturing shot.
voltage output is supposed to be 13-15 vdc at 3600 rpm.
Hi Paul, thanks very much for the info.
I’m about half way through watching this and I’m telling you I’m gonna be pissed if I don’t hear it run
Haha... it should be running at the end of the video.
There is just no way to know how something really sounds without standing there
Yeah... In videos, it can be difficult to convey loudness without a reference to something else with a known loudness also tested at the same time.
