I notice the routing of the fuel line close to the exhaust manifold. On my 845 (which is original), the fuel line from the fuel pump turns upward then forward along the base of the carburetor keeping the line away from the exhaust manifold. Also, the first of the three mufflers should be underneath the fuel pump to provide some insulation from the exhaust pipe. Use alcohol free gasoline which you should be able to buy in your area.
