The 311 and 391 use similar mufflers, but they are not stainless. Maybe you would be better off using a carbon steel muffler from one of those?
You are correct the fit is the key however I have bridged almost .075" with it. You have to be awfully patient to get it to do that so don't get in a hurry!
So u got no slag on inside??Ever wonder why most muffs are furnace brazed?
You have a point!! I like them mufflers that come apart!Other than a cheap ash crimp, was there any other practical way with the thin stuff they are made of?
Well son,
you need to split a few mufflers.
You will notice most are furnace brazed.
If'n I could afford gold wire I would!
Yes........ brazing is like gluing. I do not have a tig so it works great for me!!
I weld things far more critical than chainsaw mufflers. Soldering/brazing are not the same as welding, period.

As far as I know, it's not possible to weld stainless with O/A. The burning fuel introduces too many impurities. Needs to be done with TIG, MIG, or stick...tig is easiest.
I pay 1.10 an oz.I have silver solder but use the brass bc of the cost difference.
