Thanks all, and Nick that's a good idea.

Good idea if it works... maybe test it outside  ;)  :D

I've got a fairly large syringe with a really thick gauge needle.

Hello Jim,
the changes you made look good. This gives the machine a special touch.

Great video Jim  :)  you need to add some copper pipe to a syringe or the pump bottle so you can add more fuel while it’s running  ;)

That's a good runner Jim. I like the way you removed the black paint from the front of the boiler but left
it in the logo. I have to make a bakers fan, for the hot days.

Thanks Tommy, that paint removal was all accidental the Karcher just stripped it off in a millisecond, luckly I didn't start on the front first. Double lucky that it ended up looking alright and sorta' customized the D406.

The baker fan does move a bit of air around...and its coming up to summer for you guys on that side of the equator :)
