It's much appreciated, when the hobby seems to be wading through treacle, and life is getting in the way..........

This engine appears to have had two builders, before me. The first has done a really good job of details.
The linkage system fit and finish, is first class.......

The second builder has botched a few points.
The cross pins measure up at around .106"/ 2.7mm.......

The original displacer shaft has an 1/8" hole........

The gudgeon pin was an 8BA screw, only locating in it's threaded hole. Not touching the other bearing areas.......

So, I drilled through at 2.7mm........

And made a 1/8" headed pin, to suit.......

I hate to see wobbobly flywheels. This one had most of it's sections eccentric too!
I trued both bosses, and the inner rim. Opened up the bore, plugged and re-drilled to 6mm.
The eccentric spokes area, I left as is. A balancing feature..........

The wick end of the burner locates in a central hole. Under the hot cap. Leaving the tank end to pendulum from side to side.
So, I fitted a 10 x 2mm magnet in it's base........

And one in the oak base........

Underneath the brass base. Made a new knurled filler cap too.........

Put on your sunglasses............
After a some time. The revs had climbed much too high for me. I like to see the wheels go around.
So, I trimmed the wick back as far as it would go. It runs around 150rpm now........
