I took the exhaust off yesterday and gave it a paint job of grill paint. It says to heat up the grill to 650* or if this is for an exhuast mount and go. I mount it and got to thinking after driving to the front yard and realizing the band at the grab bar slid off and the exhaust seem to fit as I would think it should. Then I look at the band an realize it has over an 1/8 inch gap all around and the bent piece is between the two ends of the ring. Is this correct? It did start on the first pull today so I enjoyed not having a fight.
