414-8 Belt Rubs Muffler

Recommended Posts

Hi all, my brother in law just got a 2 stage WH snowblower that I installed on his 414-8. I know it is going to use all 14 of those horses to run it but he really wanted it. The biggest problem that I see right now is that when you lift it up to just the minimal lift, the belt touches the muffler on the K321 engine. 
 

Anyone run into this or have suggestions? Thank you.

Please post a pic of your set up on that side. Maybe we can figure out what's going on or what can be done to solve it

Guessing your muffler isn't installed horizontal

Be sure to get a real tachometer and check the actual RPMs. You'll want the snowblower going FULL speed.

:text-yeahthat: Actually, 2 pictures. One with it lowered for use, the other with it raised.

My guess is either improper belt routing, or as @wallfish mentioned, the position of the muffler.
