A friend of mine was over last night and he mentioned something that I never really thought about.
Has anyone ever seen the rubber bushings that were sometimes iserted inbetween the fins of two stroke motorcycle engines? Well I have seen them a million times but never really knew why they were there. Well, my friend Luke enlightened me...they are for sound deadening. I tried it on my Dax 70cc and it reduced that high pitched engine whine by about 50% and I only put it in about 5 different places.
To get an idea of how it works, simply grab the 2 outside fins on the head of a Dax 70cc (before the engine warms up, obviously) and hear the difference.
I am going to put bushing between every fin on my engine. Yes I am going to use bushings that won't melt.
