Arnold I'll be more happy when PP refund the second purchase.

What a weird turn this story is taking. Jim I am surprised you even got the loose flame licker.

@RedRyder

Gil, did you see this one? This one was H&M engine order #1 !

Hahahaha I love it Gil....feels good to scam a scammer...(even though we didn't, in fact they scammed themselves out of these two engines) !!!!

And......

Another for the books!

A second copy of this flame licker arrived today.

This one came with an extra package wrapped inside the box.
In it were 3 alcohol burners with site glasses no less!

This inspired me to tighten and align all that was loose and try my hand at timing.
I must have gotten lucky because it took off running on the first flip. 
This is no small accomplishment for a flame licker.

Here it is with a burner:

How crazy is that Gil!!!

We got two engines each?? (Though I still have one refund outstanding).

I also got the flame licker working yesterday after some fettling (my new Uk word). They are quite hefty in weight aren't they and like your video showed they sound ok running.
What did you think of the black screw that they used just sticking out about half an inch to hold the piston arm? Everything was loose on mine as well.

And yes like Nick said I got the allen keys and you got the burners.....what a crazy bunch of scammers they are! Like you said...."They aren't none to bright"
