RE: GMS 47 tuning problem
The GMS .47 is delivered with one of two muffler types:
1) A finned, two piece unit that looks like a stock OS style muffler.
2) A three piece "Tower style" muffler with a shiny centre section.
The engine, properly set up, will run well on either muffler and will yield about 300-500 rpm more on the Tower style muffler.
