Hi Brent, I figured that out while cleaning it and tested both check valves and they work perfectly.


Thanks again,


Gil

Forgot to tell you that the water pump actually pumps water. Looking good. Brent

Parallel Motion was kind enough to let me take over custody of this grasshopper beam engine.


I spent some time cleaning it but not adjusting it because it is already set up right.


Enjoy,


Gil
