Although not exactly the same I had a similar issue with
a Lightwin many years ago that might be worth checking.
Mine would run OK with the silencer off but poorly when
I put it back on. Found the exhaust passage was blocked
with carbon down to the size just a little bigger than a
pencil. Your motor doesn’t sound like it is really getting
to max. RPM with the silencer off which would be a
symptom of a blocked exhaust. Something different to
check anyway.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
