The original muffler on my 1210 became clogged at about 1000 hours (about 1500 hours ago). A correct replacement cost several hundred $$ at the time, and it appears that today they are not even listed. I have since used a generic replacement which is just a straight pipe with some insulation around it. The original unit was very, very quiet and the replacement is little better than no muffler at all. I really dislike the loud sound of this little engine, and am inclined to build my own muffler. I watched a couple Youtube videos, but those mufflers were still too loud. Any recommendations?
