Thanks for the input Joe for ethanol fuel.
Chris for the paint.
FAST GRASS for the muffler.
Grumpy for the muffler theory. Thanks alot.

I tend to think of myself as a cleaner that can pull stuff apart, clean & put back together. It gets most engines working for me, I am slowly learning the engine theory, there is more than you think to small engines.

What I am trying to get my head around: is, I had a 2 stroke power torque engine that would not rev above idle due to a blocked muffler.
Once I cleaned it out, the engine then ran as expected.
So the back pressure was greater and the flow through the engine restricted, giving slow speed.

Now with this power plus engine, the head is only a small bowl compared to a normal one, so the fuel air mix would get compressed more.
This would give better detonation, therefore the baffle has to have more holes to accomodate this.

I have run 2 strokes with the muffler off. The still run fine, just alot of noise.

For some reason I thought the engine needed some back pressure to run correctly.


Happy is he who penetrates the mystery of things.
