Rodney Vass Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Hi, I'am having a problem finding a suitable silencer for a Merco 61, single plug not sure what mark. The silencer at the moment is the dustbin one, it fits fine but is a bit loud and leaks from every joint making for a very oily model. I believe P&R made a suitable silencer some time ago but these appear to be unoptainable at the present. Any thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably already know this John but Mercos had threaded holes either side of the exhaust port. The retaining bolts passed through lugs in the silencer and screwed into the treaded holes. If I were Rodney, I'd be looking for a strap-on silencer first. Just Engines offer one for 29-40 engines. https://www.justengines.co.uk/product-category/exhaust-systems/two-stroke-exhausts/standard-mufflers/universal/?v=11aedd0e4327. Weston UK may be prepared to make up a Mini Pipe with a Terry Clip. I have one on a little SC 32. It's very efficient. https://www.westonuk.co.uk/Mini-Pipes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Colbourne Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Rodney, If you are particularly after a P&R silencer, here is one. Albeit you would have to buy the MDS58 that is with it!MDS58 with P&R Silencer Here's another possibilty:Irvine Super Silencer Edited April 23, 2021 by Robin Colbourne added link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I willt have a look through my souvenirs too John. I keep all of my engines in a cupboard but because the two-stroke exhausts are so bulky, they are kept seperately in a cardboard box. I certainly used to have a couple of P&Rs and at least one of them was fitted to a Merco 61. When stuffed with loft insulation they were acceptably quiet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Vass Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Gents, Many thanks for your thoughts reguarding my Merco Silencer enquiry. After giving it more thought I have decided to replace the engine with a more exhaust friendly one. I do appreciate your time and thoughts and will look into your suggestions. Aiso living very close to the Shuttleworth Collection may be I find a suitable exhaust at one of their model days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
