When I was doing this for a living I would always say that I may fix it or f@#ck it just in case the stuff wont weld properly which maybe the case in this instance .If it was me I would get the macs muffler and leave all your troubles behind . Good luck with what ever path you choose from the pope
Just checked the Macs and they said - "
Evolution .52-.60NX & 10cc GX(gas)
(MACS Product Does not guarantee this muffler when it is used on the Evo.10cc
GX(gas) or other gas motors)"
Plus they want $49 and shipping. Thanks for the idea and it's a good one. I'll call them to see what the problem might be in using one on a gas motor. But you had success so will see. I understand the welding situation.
Does you motor still have black goop exhaust? I've been using a "blend" oil. Will all synthetic help there do you know? Ken
