IndyFord2 50 #1 Posted September 17, 2018 Don't like muffler position on my C-120, Like the clean look but on hot days there is an over heating issue (vapor lock) I know the easiest way to move "the heat" is a stack, BUT I just am not really happy with the look of a stack. NOW many do like the stack look, "to each his own" (Also could move/replace fuel pump) Air flow on the eng. is definitely left to right. Cleanest muffler i'v seen (in pictures) is on a 520. I like the look, tucked in along the hood and air flow should be good (to help keep it cool) Will definitely require some modification to muffler & guard. Any one tried this, or have I been drinking the bath water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,374 #2 Posted September 17, 2018 Why not the 312, 314 or 315 single cylinder muffler ?, instead of a twin cylinder muffler that you'll have plug one inlet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,629 #3 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I found that the muffler style shown in the pictures can be sourced from a 10 to 16 horse.The muffler on the 416-8 went bad so I robbed the one off of the 310-8 parts machine I have.Direct replacement and very quiet.While good for engine heat you do get heat flow to the operator station when moving forward.

IndyFord2 50 #4 Posted September 18, 2018 WOW ! Great info. I am not familiar with the newer models. Saw a 520 once an thought all that style were twins. WVHillbilly mentioned 312, 14 or 15. Are they all the same size ? Info on best place to buy one ? (E-bay, Red square etc..) Would be more than happy with a used one. (at least for my first modification attempt) AND Thank you'all for the help & info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As @JAinVA mentioned above 10-16 Kohler powered should be the same size. Edited September 19, 2018 by WVHillbilly520H 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
