[QUOTE="nobog, post: 1475886, member: 145774"] Update, It fired up ok and ran "fine" but just didn't seem to have any spunk, I have no baseline what this thing should perform like but certainly lacking something. Long story short - the spark arrestor (remember this is a K[B]D[/B]X) was plugged up guessing 90 %. Of course its non-removable so I poke and stick whatever I have to free up some flow area. Wind up drilling a 3/8" hole through the center, I will work on something bigger but I need a drill extension of nearly 12". And ... holy cow, feels like double the hp. I am most pleased. I will look into a straight thru aftermarket silencer but I am not hopeful, the OEM silencer has a curved pipe welded to the main silencer portion so its not a simple bolt-on (think universal muffler) endeavor.
