JD 440 IC muffler

Post by JD440ICD2006 » Wed Jul 07, 2010 10:04 pm

I replaced the silver round muffler on my 440 IC (gas) with the small oval muffler.
I used 500 degree high temp paint and it is blistering off.
Any suggestions on a black paint that will stay on a hot muffler?

If you go to your local parts store and ask for HEADER paint you will be all set I think it is good for 1500 degrees and if you blister that you have other problems ie to lean.. Paul

Thanks, I will go look for that.
I saw some that was "1200 degrees" but requires a lot of steps of heating and cooling the engine. I did do not have the time to do all of that.
I will go back and recheck the timing and carb settings to make sure it is not too lean. It is running really well even under load.
