I definitely have an exhaust leak as the motor does 15 mph at 4800 rpms in my large 1648 flatbottom with the cover off and runs excellent aside from idling as low and smooth as it should. With the cover on it, the rpms drop down 1000 rpms or so and the speed goes down a couple mph too. With the cover on I can also lean it out all the way on the low speed needle and get the rpms and speed to climb slightly but not back to what it was with the cover off.
Since I have another, newer motor to use I'd like to go ahead and try to fix this one in my spare time. I figured I would just go ahead and replace all of the potential exhaust leak causing parts but many seem discontinued. I found this picture elsewhere online, but it shows the two I am having trouble finding...#1 and #3 as circled and hand labeled in the image. Can someone point me to a place I can still find them and at a somewhat reasonable price?
