Status: offline 		Does anybody have a stock G2300 muffler they don't need anymore ?
I had another deadstick with my new G-2300 the other day causing some major repairs to be made. When the landing gear sheared it's nylon bolts the stock ST muffler came apart in three pieces. I was surprised to see that it was pressure fitted together.
Because of low funds $ I have JB-Welded it back together using the oven on warm as a curing station. I then saftey wired it .
So far during two tank fulls run in the garage I have had no problems. But I fear the worst if flown like this.
I have a brand new OS 91FX muffler I could use as trade if needed.
Thank you in advance.

On another G-2300 note I discovered a simple fix others may want to try. After putting my engine back on my repaired plane I got the RTV "red " and applied a bead around where the carb flushes up to the intake. This must have cured a tiny air leak because the mid range is way better now and I see no wetness (fuel residue) around the engine anymore.

The new style with the fins has a bolt that goes all the way through it. You will not find a bolt that long but you can use a piece of threaded rod.

Is this the kind you have?

Enjoy,

Jim

Status: offline 		Hi Jim, always glad to see your posts/comments. Yes, it's the newer one with the long bolt. I still have the bolt from my busted muffler. It didn't get bent or ruined. It simply pulled through the back of the muffler. I replaced the washers with better steel ones and got a lock nut for it instead of the twin nuts. But the rear muffler area was too damaged to reuse the bolt. So I JB-Welded everything.

Status: offline 		That is so great that you guys will let one go. I have a few stock mufflers around here too that I never used because of after market pipes and Pitts. A few are still in the box new. But no SuperTigre.

I got your message and read the post. It's too bad Super Tiger doesn't sell parts for these.

Don't get me wrong here guys. I'm willing to pay you for the spare muffler + shipping. Was just hoping someone like myself had one laying around gathering dust like some of my O.S. stock mufflers are out in the shop.

Status: offline 		the j-b weld won't hold up long. vibration and heat and fuel and oil will get to it pretty quick. better get a new one or a pitts muffler that will fit. i have been through this before myself. your repaired muff can break or crack in the air causing a lean condition and the engine will quit causing a dead stick. i guess you know all this.......just trying to help............RON
