Is this the current configuration?Also, my cylinder is vertical, so most carbs won’t work because the intakes are designed for semi-horizontal cylinders. Another reason I went with a 2 stroke carb, it can be mounted in the orientation I need, with little modification to fit my engine.
No, he stated that is his old build. His current one is completely different. He is mounting a predator 212 with the cylinder facing upwardIs this the current configuration?
I did not have good luck connecting my manifold to my exhaust pipe with JB weld. After a few rides the heat must have got to it and the joint failed. Perhaps you have better putty and or luck with it.So I’ve updated my other threads, but realized I haven’t updated my build thread for awhile, so here’s what I have to report. I’ve removed the governor arm and gear, and plugged the governor
arm hole with a bolt and o-ring. I don’t have a pic of that currently. I also installed a vm22 clone carb, but cutting the intake manifold in half and sealing it back together with radiator hose. I also have made a muffler, by taking an empty spray can, sealing it to the flex pipe with epoxy putty, and drilling a spark plug wrench for the tail pipe, packing with fiberglass and using a soup fan for the end cap, secured with two self tapping screws.
This is where the muffler joins the exhaust pipe, not on the manifold. The exhaust pipe is inserted into the muffler, and I used putty to seal the outside.I did not have good luck connecting my manifold to my exhaust pipe with JB weld.

JB weld is like cement. Good patch for holes, it is brittle, vibration, torque and deflection are not its friend.I did not have good luck connecting my manifold to my exhaust pipe with JB weld.

I think it depends which type you use. The liquid mix isn’t great. The two part epoxy putty works much better. I use the tank weld.JB weld is like cement. Good patch for holes, it is brittle, vibration, torque and deflection are not its friend.
