XL rolls

[sh]

My  XL project now runs,I do gotta check the oil system yet ,but the engine fired up nicely today after about four pulls which was good considering she was empty,the carb needs to be fine tuned but it runs and idles as is .I was put to work gardening and planting today and was not given much spare time for personal projects ,but early this morning I managed throwing it together ,now the other XL waits,I have the XL 1 waiting too and I think that is going to be a full resto,my first shot at that.but I can’t seem to get the muffler loose.

After looking at the XL-1 parts diaghram( thanks Leon) it looks like the muffler is two parts ,the outer cover and the bottom part and that bottom part bolts to the engine also with screws inside the muffler. Good thing I did not keep hitting it harder with bigger hammers!🤬😁Sometimes it pays to read and research further.
