What's the safest way to remove the cast iron 90 deg. elbow from the exhaust port on the 5 hp L-head? I want to install a bolt on low tone muffler.

I have the same exact motor from a friend and had to replace the exhaust valve. I took the whole carb of and cleaned it and gas tank. It runs fine on some blocks, but when you try to run it on ground it buags down and goes like two mph. I think the problem is nothing is hooked up to the governor. I just needed some professional advice on how to fix it. I can post a video of it you need me to.

@donyboy73 cheers, could you possibly do a video showing the front section of the throttle system?

[shadytreemrfixit]

donyboy, firstly thank you very much for the info. Best vid on this motor I've seen. I have the same setup on a generator recently rehomed to me.. Replaced pulsa-jet and tank, however, having problems getting governor to recognize a load. I have set the idle speed screw to 3600 rpm per spec. 110vac ouput is perfect, but won't recognize a load. additionally I don't have a throttle cable. ? Not enough governor tension? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
