Hi All,
I am new to here and to the LO206 category but not new to karting. I am building an LO206 kart and with my new engine have been provided with an exhaust insulation sleeve as opposed to a wrap. Like below:
I am using the RLV 5507 type exhaust and bracket arrangement:
.
I would like some advice about the sleeve. Firstly. The Briggs website says to start the wrap/sleeve no less than 3 inches from the exhaust flange where it bolts to the cylinder head but I've seen a lot of LO206 engines with the wrap all the way up to the cylinder head, so which is correct?
Secondly, with the lower exhaust brace, the sleeve wont fit over that so can I just have no insulation between the 2 hose clips or shall I just put a slit in the sleeve for the bracket then tighten the hose clamps over the top of the sleeve?
Thanks in advance.
