stubby 175 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have a program that checks out all the collection only stuff on e bay, within a 10 mile radius to where I live, last year I won this petrol leaf blower for a tenner (£10) and its been stuck in the garage ever since, so thought Id turn it into a rat smoker, luckerly the exhaust was a two part affair, so I was able to take it apart, and with a bit of modification with a dremmel, fitted a 15mm compression tank conector to it, it did'nt come with a fuel cap, so for the minute have used a latex glove to give it an airtight seal , but could'ent get a spark on the plug, pinched a sparkplug from one of the mini-motos in the garage, which was the same size, and hay-presto, it works, so now we have the dogs, a rat attack smoker and petrol smoker, just gotta find some rats Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 The petrol cap needs to be able to breath or it will cut out.Take some of the fins off the blower side direct the exhaust to the blower had thought that, that'll be why it kept cutting out , the glove was a short fix, just to see if it would start, will get a proper cap asap, I like the fan idea, had wondered if it could be used in some way, but thought it may weaken the gasses, I'll try a hose running from the fan outlet, strapped to the side of copper tube, cheers para Quote Link to post Share on other sites
