Ben , I have had that exact engine , for me (& I suspect most us) its a bit of trail & hopefully no error. I just filled the boiler to the correct (same) amount everytime ,and run it for a period of time and shut it down and see how much water you have left , then if its an ample amount ,you can go a bit longer each consecutive run until you reach what you consider a relatively safe water reserve.
Ditto!
Exact same approach here
For experiments/testing accessories, i always use a Jensen with a nice big round sightglass, to keep proper track of the waterlevel, and never simpler engines like these
Time tends to slip for me, when being busy with other things like slipping belts, minor adjustments and such.
But Jensens are silversoldered, and should you somehow forget to pay attention, worst case scenario is a blued boiler and a fried heater
