Please do not use that plate. The J-25’s all used a pipe that fits into the muffler and it has a 90 round exit. If you use that cover plate, drill holes in it so the exhaust can escape. Otherwise you are closing off the exhaust and the motor will not run. Art DeKalb sells a repop of the exhaust snout for the J-25’s. The later J’s did use a cover plate but that is because the exhaust housing had side holes drilled in it so the exhaust could escape. I think the models were the J-75 and J-80’s.
