drip bucket?
Have you ever heard of someone putting a drip bucket on a exhaustto catch excess gas so it doesn't leak onto a table. The way this person described it, it's on the end of the exhaust and it just a little bubble there that you can take off and empty idk...
Edit: I'll post a picture

If your exhast drips unburnt fuel when its off then its running too rich. Just stick abit of kitchen towl inside the stinger, move it about abit then take it out.

Not a bad idea if it attaches to the bottom of pipe so oil doesn't build up in it. As long as it isn't in the way of anything or in danger of getting knocked off while driving thus changing the pressure to the tank or messing with tune.

its plastic and the way he put it there designed to keep exhaust pressure and everything the same and everything drains into it easly and where it hooks up to the engine the pipe is angle to not hit anything he says that fuel does build up no matter what mixture he owns this hobby shop

I'll finish the designing tomorrow I think. This may solve oil "messing" problems...not something great but I think is a nice idea.
