I have a LA 46 that I want to switch to a tongue muffler. Where is the best place on the muffler to drill for the pressure fitting?
It doesn't make much, if any, difference. Depends on how you want to route it to the tank. I alway put the tap on the "top" (opposite the holes) because it was easy to hook up to the vent.
Removing the stock muffler and using something else definitely puts you off the farm on the basic setup, and you will be on your own to figure it out. I saw a 46LA set up to run an 11-6 this weekend, and it seemed moderately OK, but certainly did not perform as well as a conventional system, and also needed a fine air filter and muffler pressure (the real muffler) to reliably draw fuel.
