andy67 7 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 ive fitted a length of hose from a jack hammer . strong and takes a lot of abuse Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 have a good look at the exhause, if its held on by two nuts, remove it from the engine, mines a converted leaf blower, and I was lucky enough that the exhaust was made of 2 pieces, the main body of the exhaust, and a front cover plate, I simple made a new cover plate from some old tin plate, and drilled a 15mm hole in the centre, to which I connected a 15mm compression tank connecter (plumbers shop) I then bolted it all back together, the tank connector then has around 18 inches of copper connected to it, and you'd then use rubber hose to whatever length you'd want Quote Link to post

I would advise you to use the mixture for your blower,you don't need more oil or you will have problems starting up. You don't need clouds of smoke to bolt rats.2 stroke has a smell that makes them run if they don't run they will die from the fumes. All the smoke does is let you see how far or which holes the "fumes" has reached. I hope this helps P1 Quote Link to post
sounder 9 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 thanks for the help lads i added photo's of mine up above NOTE !!! the exhaust pipe, Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 lucky so and so, that'll be well easy to connect a pipe too, I normally just fill up the tank with petrol, then add a glug or two of 2 stroke, as stated, dont add too much or your have trouble starting and plug will get oiled up, someone did say they add a glug of diesel to make it smoke more Quote Link to post

claybusers al 9 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 the best hose is car radiator hose you can get it in different lengths and widths from motor factors it doesnt melt or expand seal it with an exhaust paste Quote Link to post
