We have a 1989 Aft Cabin with a Quick Silver 8KW generator that has 730 hours on it. It does not burn oil or stall when used. The exhaust system needs a new "filter" (this is a cast iron block that connects to the flex exhaust hose that goes to the muffler pipe) it srewed into the manifold with a short nipple 1.5" pipe. To replace it the maniford needs to come off to get the nipple out. Has any one done this? Is 730 hours getting near the end of the generator life?
