A bit more work with a saw and a file on the standard. If the engine runs I will polish it up, but for now I need to move on. Put together the parts so far. If I spin the flywheels they will turn for 15 seconds before stopping. Is this acceptable of should I be expecting better? Unfortunately there the crank now looks to be a little off true, causing one flywheel to wobble a bit. I will continue with it for now I also made up a temporary burner for trial purposes. |

Ian. I guess, you haven't made the valve mechanism, as yet. Even without it. A 15 seconds spin, is fantastic! :bugeye: With, the valve mech in place. 15 turns would be good...... I think, you're a bit enthusiastic with the spare wick! Only need sufficient, to loop once, around the base of the tank. Save some for another day....... :thumbup: Looking good. Shaping up well! :clap: :clap: David D |
