When I picked up this machine, I noticed the exhaust was leaking right where it comes out of the front of the head. I ordered and installed the gasket and figured I was done. After putting a few hours on it, I noticed the pipe was loose again. For whatever reason, the retainer plate bottoms out on the studs before it seats the gasket completely. For a temporary fix I stuck a couple pennies behind the retainer to allow it to seat further in. Has anyone else come across this problem? Do I have incorrect studs on this engine? Think the pennies will hold for a while lol?
It seems tight now, and the fix only cost my 2 cents, but I don't like rigging things, espectially when its bolted to the engine.
