This pipe setup was actually made 5 yrs ago for a tecumseh hh100 eng,the spacer plate was added for choke plate clearance & also as a simple way to mount pipe on kohler carb due to fact carb larger than tecumseh carb as steel plate that 90 deg elbow brazed to was made to mount directly on tecumseh carb useing air cleaner backplate screws,also at angle pic taken you can't see that the 45 deg elbow is actually about 1/2" away from muffler shell & about 1" off pipe,you just want to heat air to about 70-100 deg so as not to cause a lean hi-speed mixture/vapor lock by overheating carb body,if I were to make a new pipe I would make a lighter setup out of aluminum pipe/fittings & shorten up pipe to reduce wt on carb mount & just pull heat off pipe rather than pipe/muffler.
