Close. But, no Cigar.......
Stilldrillin:
After some deliberation. I made a couple more mods.
New cam. This time, 180*. Which seems more logical, to me.......
Modded the wick tube, slightly. To give a wider flame, at the port area......
The test, (not quite), run......
That's the second time, it has perked up, on camera!
Though..... Mrs. Drillin was doing the filming. (We all try harder, when She's around)....... :thumbup:
Seems. The only mod left, is to ditch the 1/4" dia saucer, and fit a shim valve. Like Poppin(?).....
Beginning to feel a little desperate, now....
Thanks for looking in!
David.

Getting betterer and betterer David. You will get that cigar yet, :clap: but, by then you might have given them up.
Your rescue efforts are always a good read.
Thanks for posting.

Heyup Frazer.
Do you think it really matters? :scratch: ..... As long as the port is fully opened/ closed. Any, over movement, would be absorbed in the very imprecise timing.......
Frankly. I couldn't get the disc any lower down. Cos' it's too close to the operating lever.......
Anyroad!
After making two, shim valves. Which broke, as they couldn't stand the necessary bends, to seal the port...... :bang: :bang:
I went onto something else.
A rig, to allow all day running of my low temp engines, on show days......
A decent result, at last! :D
Thanks for looking in.
David.
