You are probably right, there is probably a bucketful of carbon in the Bloop’s muffler. I’d be loath to try bashing it out though, the exhaust is 43 years old, a bit fragile and would be very difficult to replace.
It would be nice to get the speed up to 60 MPH (plenty with drum brakes and 6v lights), and I think having changed the piston rings it will probably do that now. I don’t think it would be worth squeezing anything more out of a cooking bike.
