Any clue about the air cleaner ? How do I get that filter out it's pretty gunked up
Can you get a pic of it? ....I'm not sure if you have the oil-bath type or the dry filter.

Good advice above about not forcing the muffler. I did that on a Cadet 60 and broke the cast iron manifold. Take it S L O W !

Just to replace it because it's pretty rusted ( a few holes on the side ) i will try your methods . Thanks . Any clue about the air cleaner ? How do I get that filter out it's pretty gunked up
The pipe going into the elbow is Cross threaded and it looks like a thread is missing towards the muffler, cut the outer half of the muffler off on the engine side of seam, this should free the baffle and give access to the end of pipe, if threads on end of pipe are beyond cleaning cut or grind them back to good threads, dress the end threads with a file or good sandpaper before installing new muffler, if female threaded muffler is not available you will need a new elbow(any hardware store) from the engine for the more common mufflers

Its oil bath
okay guys so i took of the carburetor and the gasket was shot like i figured.. i cleaned up a little bit of the side to find the numbers which was L80D. The gasket i got seemed pretty close to it but it's wrong which i was told previously but i looked at them side by side and not everything was exactly perfect, the original from what's left has that round hole on the right side and the gasket i got doesn't have that hole ( idk how much that matters) and around the center hole it shouldn't really have those notches . is the kit definitely Lq40?

The oil bath comes apart in two sections, you will see some wire mesh inside the element itself if very dirty flush with mineral spirits or kerosene, the bottom part that holds the oil the generally catches the big particles, clean that out and fill to the fill line with fresh 30wt oil.
I know I spoke to you in PM about that carb kit , definietly looks aftermarket of some sort, Ive never seen those numbers on any of the genuine kits I have instock.
Make sure your jets and needle are the same as in that kit, you may be able to use it if everything lines up.

I dont think these particular units were meant to come apart, you just have to clean them the best you can

Paint codes can be found in the sticky section of this forum.
If your using a rustoleum brand the canvas white and regal red is close , the frame is metallic cordovan brown and no good rustoleum match is good for that. I ended up painting mine leather brown on my first restorations before we knew the correct colors
