you have me doubting myself, but I've bought mufflers that are 1" pipe thread and they work, I've also used 1" bsp pipe nipples here in the UK, which are 11.5 TPI, but work well enough.

 

Someone tell me I'm not going nuts....

The 16 horse kohler I have has bigger threads in the block then a reduction fitting to the muffler.

My k341 on Bendy definitely took a 1" BSP pipe nipple, perhaps there are more than one flavor?  maybe 1-14" on some?

 

<edit>  Pretty certain most k341 use 1-14" NPT...  for some reason mine took a 1" pipe nipple, there might be a reducer screwed in the block that I didn't notice though...

Well I found it usually depends on how many hands have repaired/replaced & or mutilated the threads, but yes ether 1npf or 1 1/4 npt.

Were you that indecisive guy in the Busch beer commercial?? :teasing-poke:

 

All the 341's I've dealt with were 1 1/4" like the drawing Paul posted. That's not to say some of them were 1" though :)

Here is an exhaust set up that I removed from a K341 on a C160-8 a couple of months ago. It is all 1-1/4 NPT.  You can have it if you will pay for the shipping.  The muffler and the long nipple attached to it are almost new.

Regards,

Bruce

As Paul said in Post #7, the K-341 uses a reducer down to 1" i.d. pipe which is 1 1/4 o.d.  The muffler then connects to the nipple.170120_001.thumb.jpg.94cadbdcd3a1d1d500465858105eb9bb.jpg170120_010.thumb.jpg.2de2f222ed76cd57fce07cbb6e35a5e5.jpg

 

The first picture is of my K-341 with the reducer and the second picture is of my K-321 where there is no reducer.  And yes, I do sell these  Mufflers and the 90 degree exhaust pipe elbow that connects it to the nipple if you need a muffler.

Hello jay bee:
What is your prize for the 90° bend and the muffler? I even need a 45° bend in same Inlet/outlet dimension as the 90° bend. I only got an around 1-1/4" straight tube out of the exhaust port with 1" treads (1" NPT has an OD 33,401 mm) in the end screwed  in the exhaust-port in the cylinder. The other end has no threads at all. I need it for my C-120. PS I live in Norway - Northern Europe, not in the United States, so I have a little bit problem to get exhaust parts to my WH nowadays accept making my own. If you want to, you can send me a PM.  
Best regards Jim Slaaen

PM sent to Jim Slaaen informing him that I no longer sell these mufflers.  But we had a lot of happy customers when I was selling them.
