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.

You could try running the fuel line through another bit of rubber hose thats bigger in diameter.

Or go the long way round.

Im glad you had more luck than i did. I drove all the way to Leongatha to get a G200 flywheel and picked up 2 motors that looked nothing like the G200 ive got. I hope i can make something work with what i go.

I have had very little to do with generators. i would assume that you are working within the confines of a frame/cage/cover and everything needs to sort of stay within that.

The G200 i had here just had the long muffler poking out the side.

So im not sure what sort of confines you are trying to work in.

The mufflers are still available.
Theres three sorts, small long one for up to 4Hp, larger long for up to 8Hp, then another one thats bigger in diamter (sorta trumpet looking) for 5, 7 & 8HP. And another one on a long pipe for 11Hp.

Then theres this one

Might not be big enough as it only for 4Hp.

Then on the ends of them you can put a deflector shield if its pointing at something or just to hush it up a bit more.

Check the store, the link is on the left. Engine parts, Briggs motors, B&S engine parts, Mufflers.

Not sure what mufflers you can get for other motors. Im sure you will be able to make something work.
