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.

Stilldrillin:
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:
