So i have an old Thunder Tinger .42, and i wanted to see if it still worked. I cranked her in my vice (HARD. I though i almost bent the metal). I got a fuel tank hooked up, and started it. It worked! So i had it at about half throddle, and i was adjusting the needle when the engine began to tilt. I pulled my hand back as quickly as i could, and the engine.. took off! If flew across my garage (Literally flew). It then hit the wall, and fell to the ground, breaking the muffler. When i picked it up however, it was boiling hot. I think the heat caused the metal to contract a little and let it slip. I remember overheating being my problem way back when i quit using the engine. Damn, it was a close call. I know you guys are going to go crazy, but i really did try to get that thing as tightly on there as possible.


This all brings me to my next question, is there any place i can buy a replacement muffler? Nothing special, just a replacement.
