I learned a trick on another newsgroup about this same engine and problem. Use 5 minute epoxy on the threads. Seemed wierd to me but is works great. It also can be simply screwed off and peeled away if you need to remove the muffler. Then just apply it again. Five minute works best since in never seems to get really rock hard.

Good Luck,
