    i've installed a little 2 stroke generator into my motorhome (one of those
    little disposable generators you can buy almost anywhere for 50 quid)

    I used to have a 4 stroke lawnmower engine that drove a cars alternator,
    which allowed me to charge the batteries at 70 amps, but the engine went
    kaput last year, and whilst i decide if to re-build it, i put the little
    portable mains genny in it' locker,

    annoying that it's 2 stoke, last genny i ran on gas, but short of installing
    an oil injection pump and the related bollox, i have to run this engine on
    petroil, but i already had the genny, so i'm gonna put up with it (otherwise
    i'd have bought one with a 4 stroke engine and ran it on gas no probs)

    Anyhoo, it's fairly quiet as it is, but where i positioned it, the exhaust
    points towards the middle of the van (it's underneath the floor in a belly
    locker)
    The waste water tank is accross from the exhaust, so the sound bounces off
    the tank and makes it sound louder than it is out in the open,

    what i need is the stinger off the end of a 2 stroke scooters 'race'
    exhaust, the engine in the genny is 50cc's, so any old exhaust
    stinger/silencer end will do,

    looked on fleabay, but there's only complete zorsts that are in good nick,
    hence they want more than i really want to pay just for the end bit,

    dunt spose anyone has what i'm after laying about? maybe from a scoot that
    slid down the road and scraped the expansion chamber open, or the school
    boys trick of hammering a screwdriver through the back side of the chamber
    to make it sound louder.
