Hello,
I've started on a simple mow-kart project using an old John Deere S82, this is my first kart, and I'm pretty new to most of this. I am currently trying to find a may to quite down my kart a bit. It currently has a muffler on it (though probably has never been replaced since the late 80's when these mowers came out), and I would like to add on a secondary muffler (or upgrade the existing).
The catch is that I currently do not have access to welding. That capability may arrive eventually. If welding is highly desirable in this case, then is there something cheap and temporary I could do until welding is a possibility? I am currently thinking of stuffing some steel wool into the tailpipe and retaining it with a bolt put through the end of the pipe.
My current tailpipe is about 1.25" and I can easily protrude off of the existing pipe around 3-6 inches.
Thanks for any advice!
