Super run.  I like to see the machine in a "braked" run.

I really enjoyed the video Bruce and the SPS Treatment makes it over the top cool.

Thanks and congratulations on completing the collection of the big Wilesco engines.

Thanks Charlie , I think its about time for a Wilesco family portrait "Txlabman" style 😊👍

Very nice Bruce, looks and runs better than new - makes me think about keeping mine even though I don't have the space for it.

Thanks Larry, as you can see , those 3 take up nearly my whole table top , so I understand about that issue.

My newly acquired Wilesco  D24, that I converted into a dual fuel model with a 500W immersion rod heating element, this was used , but a very low usage plant given the high compression & the low residue in the fuel tray & on the boiler. it will run for nearly 2 hrs just ticking over @ low wattage. My Thanks to Randy T. for helping me to acquire it. I also briefly show a Wilesco D28 and a D32 in this video

as received,  Esbit all over the place
