Spark Arrestor HELP!!!
Spark Arrestor HELP!!!
I bought a PC spark arrestor (the guy thinks it's a PC anyway) form the other site. I got it today and took it apart to inspect and repack it. From what I can tell I believe it is a FMF Sparky. I think this because were the stickers use to be the residue is in the shape of a FMF decal. There is no screen inside, the pipe core goes through to the end cap and doesn’t seem to even have a place for a screen. I took apart my 250 FMF spark arrestor to compare the two and it is very similar minus the screen. Here are a couple of pictures:

Thanks Bob, I was just looking at the FMF site and I think its a Powercore or Powercore 2. I am thinking that I can make it a sparky by using the internals from the 250 sparky from my Gen. 1 donor engine, because the CAN is the same diameter so I might be able to make one out of the two.AlisoBob wrote:If it isnt stamped "U.S.F.S. Approved" Its not a FMF Turbine Core spark arrester. Its the non approved Power core version

Rhino89523,
Thanks. That is exactly waht it is. What do you think about me adapting the two into one?? Or should I just put it in the spare pile... and just buy a sparky

Even if I use the "can" from the 250 that is stamped?? Probably to much trouble and I will just have to save up the $$$ and buy a new one.AlisoBob wrote:Dosent matter what you put on the inside, its what stamped on the out side....
No stamp, the Ranger WILL site you......

Helpful hint of the day.
Many rangers grab a stick and poke it into the silencer to see if the stick stops. If it does, they assume it is a Spark Arrestor. If it doesn't, they KNOW it is not.

Let me know what you want for it. I really appreciate you helping me out hoons helping hoons out, doesn’t get any better then that!!!

I have an older one for cheep....or anyone looking to trade for sparky - as I need one too.AMA714 wrote:If anyone is looking to unload a silencer... Im looking. Send me a PM of any for sale.
And Mojo is correct about the stick test. They really dont care about the stamp as much as you'd think.
The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...

Of course, if you're an asshole, they will look VERY closely.AlisoBob wrote:Bullshit, I've seen a guy get sited for a unstamped can @ Wildomar.hoofarted wrote:They really dont care about the stamp as much as you'd think.

never been checked or seen someone being checked, even at spark arrestor mandatory races, guess you guys have it worse down there
i did see a guy that hoseclamped some ss mesh over the entire end of his silencer, if you get really desperate....

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
