Has anyone drilled and tapped the underside of a muffler and installed a remote glow plug to up the temp and vaporize oil from a smoke system ? It seems like this would really up the smoke in 2 strokes.
I plan to try this soon I would really like any input anyone may have. The smoke system I have does not work very well at all on a .46 2 stroke, as always well after the purchase one learns a 2 stroke does not hold enough exhaust heat.

Help please..

When I did that I put copper pot scrub in the muffler. Just enough so as not to choke the engine. worked well. Did it on a FOX 45 on my own brew diesel and auto transmission fluid.

That little coil in a glow plug won't do diddly.

The bottom line is, the bigger the engine, the better the smoke.

I get excellent smoke with a 91 4-stroke - that's the smallest engine I have tried it on, but I may try it on a 75 2-stroke this summer.

Have you tried pre heating the oil a little more? You can run a copper tube around the base of the cylinder a few times. Then pump the oil through the copper before it gets to the muffler. I metal hose clamp can be used to hold your coil in place.

Just curious. Did your engine run quieter?

It's not unusual for the engine's sound to deaden a little when it's blowing smoke. The oil dampens the sound vibrations

Yes mine had a nice tone to it.

On my OS 1.08FSR I made a coil out of copper tube that fits inside of the stock 2 piece muffler with the baffle removed that preheats the oil and then dumps it in about the middle of the manifold. I get a ton of smoke from this setup, I should scan the pic where I completely dusted the field with a nice layer of super dry.

Thanks much everyone !!

Nitrohog I would like to see that picture of your 1.08 smoking the field. I have a ST90 with a Slimline smoke muffler going on my CG Ultimate. I am planning on using a Sullivan Skywriter for the smoke pump, what did you use? Everyone says that 2 strokes will not produce good smoke, I hope that is incorrect.

I would guess that a 90-size 2-stroke will produce good smoke. The biggest trick is to keep trying different things. Start as simple as possible and only make it more complicated if you need to.

Yes, yes you should.
