So now you have experience , we all have done things similar in nature and it's all part of learningThanks for all the feedback and tips. I went out and gave it a shot. Loved the way the chainsaw ran, and sounded. Might be placebo but i felt throttle response was very good.
Like most of you with experience said it did not hold up. It survived the first tank, but even then i was doubting my solution because the heated epoxy was giving off some really bad smell, i can only imagine that stuff is toxic when heated to melting point. Made my gag relfex kick in..
But point is second tank first cut while notching the pipe fell out.
Im going to buy map gas torch like sean donato suggested. But in the hardwear store im looking at they have 2 kinds of brazing. Theres aluminuim and copper. Which one do you suggest ?
I am Norwegian so i apologize for writing errors..
If you can not weld in any form there is an option. Using any form of glue will not succeed. I did make some very high tech mufflers years ago with carbon fiber and Kevlar. Yes it worked but the conditions were very precise. Then do you need spark arrestors or not. Buy a muffler on Flea bay and rivet it to your existing. Have you exhausted all sources for finding a replacement that does not need to be welded. I bought a whole replacement muffler spark arrestor for my 372 XP including shipping for under $25.
