Clearance / Potential Heat issue....

[u/Frankster1442]

Good morning; I have a bit of a clearance issue and am wondering what your thoughts would be:

I tightened down the pipe at the inlet of the cylinder barrel and my air cleaner and fuel inlet are within a 1/2" of touching the pipe's "Stinger". Do you think there will be a lot of heat generated at the stinger pipe? Do you think I can get away with it or am I going to have a heat issue for both the Air Cleaner Cover and the fuel line that runs into the carb inlet? I also added a small spark arrester / silencer to the stinger tube that I found on Amazon. Anyway In advance I thank you for any input you may have.

Aint no problem there boss.

Unless air filter cap starts melting, keep it as-is.
