Blew a exhaust/muffler gasket, HELP!

[Zephyn.bh1]

I was riding my brand new two-stroke bike around my neighborhood and all of a sudden the engine started going way way louder and I looked down and oil was dripping out of the Place where the muffler connects to the engine and I noticed the gasket was broken in pieces and oil was Dripping out. What should I do? Do I need to just buy a new gasket or is there also another problem? Also when I completely let go of the throttle the bike still seems to move really fast, (about 12 miles an hour)even though I am not accelerating with the throttle. How do I fix that?

You need a new exhaust gasket, either buy one or make one.

Welcome!!
Yes, a new exhaust gasket for sure. Also, what oil mix ratio are you using? Don't use 16 to 1 like they say you should, that is too much oil, too much oil can gunk up your exhaust pipe. You should be using a mix of about 32 to 1.

Hey what should you use to make a gasket?

Ask at your local auto parts store for a sheet of exhaust gasket material. I have a sheet of Felpro Gasket material I make my exhaust gaskets from. It's metal on one side and cardboard on the other.

Ok. What about the intake, base, ECT. I'm just wondering because I've been waiting for some to come that I ordered for like 2 weeks, and wasn't sure if I could make them out of something I could get local and could make whenever I needed one

Auto store should have a small roll of that too, unrolled, probably 45 cm square. Make sure it's at least 1 mm thick.

Ok thanks again!! Sorry to ask about something a little off topic

This may sound weird but trust me, it works very well
Get some high grit sandpaper, fold it over 4 times, cut out the whole on your exhaust and use it!

Here we go again the home remedy exhaust gasket?
I've heard a coke can skin a silicone brownie baking tray a piece of cardboard soaked in veg oil ETC... and many more. Just buy some real exhaust gasket material and make your own or use a OEM gasket
