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.

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:
