Nick, Make the burner first before making anything else, you just cannot hold the flame steady enough by hand for the engine to fire up, as I have said before, the flame position is the most critical part, that is why mine are screwed down, they can't move out of position. John |

Ok, thanks John, will do. I've spent the last 3 nights pratting about trying to get it to run but without a proper burner! I've studied all the other internal valve flame lickers I can and it all seems to be in order. I think this is where I need to be patient and methodical - oh dear! :lol: Nick |
