Status: offline 		I needed to replace the muffler for a DL50 engine and by mistake bought the option that has a nipple for smoke applications. The question is: should I use it as a regular muffler or should I block the hole in the nipple?
Thanks in advance.

Status: offline 		I think Ill start by filling the nipple hole with hi-temp silicone first as suggested by a pilot at the giants site. If the carb starts acting up or I see some residue on the inside of the cowl, I'll move to plan B which is to plug it with some fuel line and a dot. Thanks for the feedback!

If you plug it with tubing, use neoprene rubber as regular Tygon type fuel tubing will melt from the heat.
