That feed water tank is a brilliant idea and definitely something I need to copy. So many run these engines with the pump dry, and it can’t be good for it... What did you use for the little brass funnel?

Also a good tip on adding oil to the water to prevent splashing. I’ve used mineral oil in the past instead of water.

Nick, Ozsteamdemon made the whole brass reservoir and funnel setup for me.

Well that makes it all the more special!

I’m sure I can find something in the parts bin that will work...

I've always admired the #16051 plant & wished I had bought one while they were being offered new , now the collectors have them NIB & have driven the price up.
Love watching yours run Jim 😊

Good and efficient engine and easy to handle with
the gas burner - thank you for the video ;D

I have the same engine since at least 5 years in the box!

Have to take it out soon....
