RE: no pressure nipple on muffler
They made 2 versions of K&B .61 in the old days. One with a pump and one without. The muffler that came with these was identical with the exception of the pressure fitting. The non-pump muffler had a fitting and the pump muffler had a plug screwed into the hole. I've got both. You don't use muffler pressure with a pump engine usually.
