Hi Bob,
Many thanks for continued advice.
Tank 1st - G200 tank duly arrived and with a bit of fettling with the mounting bracket, its on and looks right. Slight problem, the orientation is opposite way round so in order for the underneath indentation to sit on the spark plug, the petrol line outlet is opposite side to carby. So the plastic fuel line has to travel under the tank on its way to carby and sit on the red metal plate covering the cylinder head . Thus it gets pretty hot, so I will need to get some heatproof sleeving - I hope it is easily available.
2nd, before spending serious money on adapted muffler and welding I thought I should check the Dunlite generator part over more thoroughly. Got the housing off ok- same story as engine really, not particularly worn, just rusty/ dirty. Especially the slip ring - with a good clean with meths the output is much improved. I think the brushes were sticking as i could only get them out from the inside of the casing. They are square in cross section and one is chipped/damaged. They are on back order at 'Diesel and Machinery Ltd' so if you know of another supplier for my old 5kva Dunlite, please let me know.
Lastly, muffler - I will have look at the B&S box though it will be a bit crowded I think next to the carby.Having said that I see that the muffler tube is offset so the box could be rotated away from the carby. However it might be difficult to find somewhere to bolt the B&S muffler angle bracket to - I dont think this is something you have had to do as earlier in the thread you mentioned fitting a long muffler - I guess these aren't available any more.
All the best
Brian
