Re: Weeden #37 Steam Engine with Force Pump - Bad Boiler!
« on: January 06, 2023, 02:08:35 pm »
  pdate...I put 4ozs of water in and.....there is a leak
in the bottom of the boiler.  I've never dealt with a
bottom leak before.  I'll have to take the boiler off,
clean the black smudgy junk off the bottom, and see how
bad it is.  I hope it is just a single pinhole and not
bunch.  Maybe I can seal it somehow.  Someone must have
left water in it - and the boiler is steel!  Curses upon
the person who did this.
