  Hmmm.  Burner position ok?  Must experiment with it.

  I tried moving the flame around a bit but it did not
seem to make any difference.  More flame, less flame,
here and there, all the same.  Frustrating as all the
bits seem to work as they ought with no binding.  Reminds
me of trying to get a messed-up Empire turbine to run.

  What about that adjustable screw on top of the cylinder.
If I screw it in completely the engine will not turn over.
It almost seems like an exhaust valve.  Maybe it ought
to have a spring that keeps it down between strokes.
Easy to mod with spring.

  Still, I think parts of it are made by a company, not an
at home hobbyist.  The flywheel and posts are very nice
as are the base and cylinder.  Who made this!

Checking the web for flame-eaters...
