The muffler from [link=http://wackerengines.com/]http://wackerengines.com/[/link] arrived today.
I have a little problem. The muffler doesn't fit. I mean it is a perfect good muffler but it sticks fo much to front so it interferes with the magneto support. Pater (wackerengines) wrote me that some peolpe cut off the part of the ignition coil support and then muffler fits. But if I don't wnat to cut it off, he will replace the muffler for the smaller one. It was my fault, as I never showed him that part of my engine (and as a matter of fact it's difficult to see it on my pictures posted here). I wrote him back, that this is good option. I really like that muffler so much, that additionlly I ordered one more.

Now when I got back home I looked at the engine again and maybe he is right about cutting off this additional piece of metal. What do you think guys. It is my first conversion so any tip is more than welcome.

See the pictures below. I showed with the blue color the piece of metal I was writting about. Also blue lines show where the cut might be. The red arrow shows the pice of metal that would carry the whole load after the cut.

Help me guys. I really wanted to run this engine this weekend, but I don't want to do this without muffler.
