If your new rings start to give resistance, you might get away with just sliding the piston forward enough to put a few drops of synthetic clock oil between the piston rings as they seal almost too well. Nice runner they are. I can't get mine to heat up either. They don't even need water in the hopper unless you make it work hard for an extended period.


They sure are fun!
