Jensen 40 with generator - steaming up together
« on: January 18, 2025, 11:57:57 am »
Good afternoon from Brooklyn...

 I was hi-bidder for this Jensen 40.  Adding in the buyer's premium,
taxes, and S&H it was a bit pricey.  After replacing the leaking
sightglass (bad gaskets, fractured tube) with what I had laying around,
I lit it up and here is the video of it running and driving a Jensen
generator.  A nice engine/boiler and a very strong generator.  Yipee!

 

Happy steamer,
Wayne

The Jensen #40 is always a fun engine to run. (for a long time)
