Default Striped out muffler caseing

Ive got an 1.20F that where the muffler screws in to the caseing the threads are striped out and Im not shure what to do about it. What are my options? Ive thought about maby takeing it to a machine shop and haveing it rethreaded, but then my muffler wont fit with out a bushing.

The proper fix would be a new head. You might try a helicoil if it is available in the right thread pitch.

I had the same thing happen to my new 115 last month! I sent it in to YS Parts for warranty repair and they replaced the head and I had it back in jsut over two weeks. GREAT service! Much better solution that "other fixes", although more expensive it not under warranty.

Try contacting Clarence Lee (Clarence Lee MFG) at 818 352-3766... he has repaired exhaust threads for friends motors and they have been happy.
