Hi All,

I've just picked up a second hand GX200 powered 3KVA genny and there
is what looks like a fine mesh disk rattling about in the actual
exhaust outlet. It would fall out but it's otherwise trapped by the
other heat shield.

I think the PO suggested there may have been an additional outer
deflector on the exhaust box and I'm wondering if that also had
something to do with holding whatever_this_is in place?

Does anyone have such an engine and know how that area is supposed to
go together please?

If there are some bits missing, would you know if they are available
separately, if not, would one of the aftermarket exhausts on eBay be
ok (ok = no noisier and give full power etc).

On that and if I am going to get a new exhaust anyway, I have here a
fairly new exhaust off a 125cc 4/ scooter [1] that, with a bit of
tweaking and in the spirit of d-i-y etc could be made to fit within
the general genny frame (it's an open cage type). Would you think this
might be quieter than the stock exhaust, if bigger is better it should
be and as I already have it etc?

Cheers, T i m

[1] I think the (125cc) scooter did about 8K rpm and this (200cc)
Honda does about 4k rpm so I don't think the exhaust would be two
restrictive.
