mustie1, Exhaust looks good, I wonder if it sounds as good as that pepperoni pizza sounds right now… I think the 2 cycle exhaust runs a little cooler then 4cycle exhaust. Whole thing looks good Bud!
I like it, you have been eyeballin all them pieces for awhile, is there any way to get a drill bit in the rear of that extinguilser an put some holes in the pump thing inside without messing with the resst of what you have, like some exhaust releif holes..
I like the decompression idea. I would think you could T the plug as they sell those anti fouling adapters that hide the plug up there and they seem to run. But I also like the idea of just taping for a second plug and using the body of an old plug for the main part. Maybe brazing in a brass petcock into the center of an old plug.
The cast elbow bend is available with a male thread (I know they are here in New Zealand) that the copper nut would fit directly to and lose the joiner fitting shortening up the top end so the copper tube might then be able to follow the crank better
Any concern about restricting the exhaust too much with the copper flex? That little motor is going to need all the ass it can get! Looks great though!
A muffler's pipe with a swing around👍
Should use silver solder and flux and use map gas or oxy to braze also works for joining copper to steel

i'm liking this project
Looking great Mustie! I love the look of brass and copper on any project.
that's coming along great, cheers brother

looking great
Looking pretty cool. You can anneal the copper when it work hardens. Just heat it up and it'll be soft again.
