teflon approach. Wierd stuff. it shrinks to its nominal size when
cold and is really tight. then when it heats up it gets loose. It
can be pretty stiff too. A Webra is not a 4 stroke and I like the softer
give of silicone. I use the clear 5/8" high purity tubing because
it's good to 500 degrees, which is 150 more than regular silicone. number
51845k38 is what I order.</span></font></p>

Well, I guess that's why they make Fords and Chevrolets. I prefer the Teflon
tubing. I used one piece of 1/2" ID PTFE tubing on the YS 1.40L-powered
Advantage that I flew for 2 1/2 years. I never used any clamps on either end.<br>

Coupler part # at McMaster-Carr<br>
<?/x-tad-bigger><?/fontfamily><br>
<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Hello,<br>
<?/smaller><?/fontfamily> <br>
<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>I was wondering what type of material
people are using for couplers for their two stroke engines. I am going to place
an order at McMaster-Carr (unless some else has a better place to get it) for
the Teflon coupler material. What part # are you using? This will be for a
Webra (Mac's header) and Aeroslave carbon pipe. Both are between 3/4" to
7/8" in diameter.<br>
<?/smaller><?/fontfamily> <br>
<?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Thanks,<br>
<?/smaller><?/fontfamily><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?smaller>Emory Schroeter.</p>
