How does the home made shorty sound? That's cool!

You'll want some more packing that that.  The muffler needs to be packed solid.

Sounds really good, all I did was start it on the stand though. It will sound even better once I wind it out under load! Doesnt sound choked up with the shorty like it did with the sparky. It barks like a 250 should, very throaty

Ive been packing silencers this way for years, wrap the core and then stuff around it through the end cap with the base installed. What you see in the pic is not all the packing I used. Helps make sure that I dont pack too tight.

Try tapping on the caliper with a screwdriver handle or small plastic hammer. It seems to help knock any air bubbles loose in there.

Thanks Ill keep that in mind next time... I just pushed the piston all the way in and it built pressure immediately. Thanks again for the tip though.

Nice avatar by the way

thanks, it always seems to make me want a glass of milk for some odd reason!
