Chuck. This is his explanation, on our steamtoys forum......
David ( Stilldrillin ) did so much work on a little flame gulper engine of mine and sadly he had to send it back last year as it just wouldn't run .
I just wouldn't give up on this little beauty so every now and again I would get the engine out and maybe have a fiddly with it or adjust something then I got to looking at the meths burner so I tried different wicks and adjusted the length of the wick then it sort of run SO back in the cupboard it went then perhaps a week or so later I would get this little FG engine out and I noticed the slide which covers the cylinder hole was knocking the wick so I then altered the height of the burner and found if
I altered how close or far away from the cylinder it was then the engine WOULD run but at different speeds.
Well some have asked how small " Little Munchkin " is ..

Thanks, Eric.
The LTD? I'm a bit disappointed, no-one thinks it is worth a comment....... :scratch:
I guess, everyone has moved on. There's little interest in engines, on here anymore....... :(

Not so fast!
I love engines David -- just hadn't seen that one, because I often don't watch YouTube links -- they're blocked for me (I just see a black square in the post), unless I specifically enable them for some reason. Sorry to others also, who only post videos, and not pix -- I rarely read those threads, unless what your video is about is explained and there are photos in the post -- just me..... I'm a reader more than a viewer.
Anyhoo, love the little engine David, and the LTD, well what can I say, but obviously I like that one, since I've owned the same one for several years! Here's mine:
BTW when I first got it I did an experiment with it, I made a new displacer from white ScotchGuard and it worked quite well with a porous displacer -- as a regenerator.
Anyway, the more engines the merrier as far as I'm concerned!

David
I'm always interested to read your posts - I'm sure there are lots of other lurkers too.
