I've just purchased a DA 120cc with mufflers. My question is: shouldn't there be a coil visible, coil that would heat up the smoke before being released into the muffler??? I contacted DA Engines and asked if the mufflers were smoke ready, I was told that if there is a orifice into the main body of the muffler then they are smoke ready. I'm confused. Can somebody please help.???

These engine provide more then enough heat to make endless clouds of thick dense smoke. Coil not required.

My understanding is a smoke ready muffler just has a fitting to be able to pump smoke in. An actual smoke muffler has the coil you are talking about. The DA smoke mufflers I have for my DA 150 has the coil, and they cost more.

I had the same dilemma, I was told by Jeff at DA that gasoline engines run so hot that they do not need a coil. His point was proven because I do have a smoke system on my Extreme Flight 110"with a DA 120 and Sullivan skywriter and the smoke I get it's unbeleivable> Frank
