Re: Jensen 20G acquisition

Hello everyone,

I just recently acquired a Jensen 20G. It’s second hand but in excellent condition. I doubt it was run much at all. Anyway, it runs very well and I’m amazed at how fast the immersion rod heater works. I had steam in no time at all.
Just a few little leaks to tend to, mostly the front and rear of the cylinder.
There must be gaskets that are supposed to be there I would imagine? Just making sure before I unscrew the head.
It runs that generator easily and I’ll bet it can run others as well.
I must say I’m more than pleased with it.

There should be cylinder head gaskets, I believe.    Someone like St Paul Steam would know better. He’s a big Jensen collector.
