Re: Need muffler/ fumes advices
Have you cleaned the flame arrestor? Keeping that clean will allow more airflow into the motor. Take some carb cleaner and just blast it until it's clean. Let it dry before starting.
Cap and rotor cleaning at the least, and replacement would be better. Sometimes we think things sound great until you go through the basic tuneup steps and then it's even more amazing how smooth your motors can get.
Keep playing with it, sounds like there's room for improvement.

Re: Need muffler/ fumes advices
I bring that up because despite knowing it's running a little rich, my fumes were exactly like you described. definitely too noxious for my wife who is quite sensitive to the smell of exhaust fumes on a hot day, it will make her want to vomit.
We redid the risers, elbows and manifolds because they were due, but also discovered a small leak in the port side manifold. after doing this job, the fumes are incredibly minimal now. now the boat just smells like a carbureted SBC.
any chance of a manifold leak? sometimes you can hear it if you know what you are listening for.

Re: Need muffler/ fumes advices
How would I go about checking the mainfold for a leak?
I had the carb tuned up and the fumes are better but still enough that sensitive people can easily tell they are there
Also this engine (port) is very loud, sounds like riding on the back of a Harley and no one can even think about talking while underway.
Easy way to minimalize the noise?
Thanks

Do you have the Davis underwater exhaust/muffler out the center stern in your model ?
