Hi,Says on the instruction sheet that the blower pipe diameter should be reduced to about the diameter of a pin to help get a good draught. Does that sound about right?

Thanks

Yes on such a small engine you need the velocity that the small opening produces to get a decent draw.

My 2" fowler only has a 1.2mm opening

Cannot help on this one, Terry.

My instructions do not even mention it, so guess there may have been a problem and you have updated ones ?
