chip61 655 #56 Posted February 27, 2020 That turned out great!! Yea, I know from experience you're going to want some sort of support for that stack. Low tree branches are not your friend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The top of the clamp is now welded to the exhaust, while the bottom can unbolt from the pipe and the block. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,873 #58 Posted February 28, 2020 Here’s another option for a clamp on muffler. I welded the support directly to the stack. I can slip the stack on, tighten the support to the block, clamp ‘er down and we’re good to go! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never had a flu shot. I've also never had the flu, at least bad enough for a doctor to tell me I had the flu. Fingers crossed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,976 #63 Posted March 14, 2020 An old dodge was to inject some milk in using a syringe, blow the tyre/tire up, then drive round for a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briankd 816 #65 Posted March 15, 2020 Got the support bracket fabed up and installed got it running after it died the first time it take some cranking to get gas into carb but my starter Bendix stuck in flywheel and had to pull starter to fix that. Then I didn't get the governor adjusted right and it ran pretty fast before I realized it 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
