I was just throttling up alittle getting the engine broke in. I ran about 1/3 of a tank through it, after I shut it off. I went up to put some more gas in it when we noticed that the tubing going from the gas tank to the muffler was no longer their. We took it inside for a closer look and noticed that the threding on the tubing was still their but the muffler just had a hole in it???? [sm=confused.gif] I have a pic below. should I buy a new muffler? or is their a way I can fix it?

thanks for your time, Drew

It has just vibrated the nipple out dude, just screw it back in with some ca to keep it there.

...or use some JB Weld to glue it in, as suggested by RaptorTechnique...

I just used some Loctite when I screwed mine in... that's worked so far...

No, I don't think you understand, the hole is about the size of my thumb.

Thanks, Drew

Wow! If the large piece of metal that came out of that hole is still attached to the nipple, you can still use some JB Weld or epoxy to glue it back... otherwise, you could get some of that putty-like epoxy (looks like two sticks of clay that you knead together to mix it) to cover the hole and hold the nipple in. Maybe it's just time for a new muffler...

I think I will just get a new muffler, this one looks very very used. I think it was broke when I bought the heli. But thanks for all the advice.

Thanks, Drew
