       Does any one know if the first run of Brodak 40's had a different
looking muffler to the last version?
Thanks

I agree with Jim. I have two B40's, one from the second run and one bought at some later date. I looked at both mufflers last night, and as far as I can tell, the output opening looks the same.

I also have a B25, and there the output is considerably smaller, even though the mounting is the same. I wonder if the B25 muffler is basically the same as the first run B40.

I think this is a picture of the first of the first Brodak 40’s.

Not exactly sure what this might mean..........

That is a little odd---I did pull out my 3 engines---"2nd" run B40, "newer" B40, and B25 (not first run, but purchased a few years ago), and the B25 muffler, while basically identical to the two B40 mufflers, has a much smaller diameter output opening than the B40 muffler. Maybe they decided the larger opening works better even with the B25???

        Here should be a picture of the muffler I'm talking about,maybe its not
the same as the one Willis posted.
Alan, you get your hands oily as well!

Paul,

From your pix, it appears that your muffler doesn't match the one shown on the instruction sheet............

I have a Brodak 40 that I purchased back in July,2003 going by the receipt ,and
the muffler is the same as the one on the instruction sheet,it had a bigger outlet
hole and was from the second batch that was made.
The 40 in the photo, I just purchased from E bay in Australia,NIB.
I just wondered if this was the muffler from the first batch?
When was the first Brodak made?
Thanks
