rat smoker.


Recommended Posts

hi all, while at my grandparents house yesterday i spotted an old 2stroke flymo hover mower in the shed and i am in need of an engine for a rat smoker so i decided to use it. well.

 

went down today to try and do it. and i tell ya what. their bloody well made. took me 3 hours with a hacksaw, battery drill and a few various heavy things to get the hood off so i could get at the blade. well when i could get to the blade the feckin nut holding it on was rusted as tight as a 20stone virgins hole.

when i got the feckin thing off with a hacksaw it was pretty straitfarward from there. just undoing 4 nuts to get the engine off the frame and now i have the engine seperate and am going down tomorrow to try to find some aluminium to get my mate to weld me a frame for it because the exhaust is underneth so it need raising off the ground so i can fit a hose..

 

will post pic when ive finished and see how it goes.

 

also forget to mention first time i started it i spilled petrol all over it and it made a spark when i pulled the cord and the bloody thing caught fire inside my nans garage. :no::wallbash:
