Hey All,
I am in the middle of rebuilding my Uncle's Royal Blue engine that has had a very hard life. I decided to put a smoke unit in it and a can motor with an electronic reverse unit.
Everything is working well, but as you probably suspect, the smoke unit chimney and the smokestack on the engine shell do not match up. Rather than try and rug up some type of curved tube, I thought of modifying the unit by drilling a hole further back from the regular hole and seeing if that works.
What do you guys think? Will this work, or will it mess up the smoke unit operation? I have attached a photo of where I'd like to drill the new smokstack in the smoke unit.
