Jim, I love that stamper...best looking one I have ever seen and it works well off the relatively low power PM engine. I have same engine and love it...though struggle to get it going each time I start it. Well built engines as well, just tempermental.

Rog if they don't start on the very first go they seem to get a little condensation in the cylinder which then makes them a PITA to get going. Like Bruce mentioned above, if mine doesn't start first time I warm mine up, though I run a gas flame over the cylinder to drive off the condensation.
Does anyone know why PMR calls these (and others in this line) 'Solar engines' ?

Rog ,for my shows I bring a paint stripper gun , looks like a hair dryer but a heck of a lot hotter, I preheat it on high for about 45 seconds all around the brass cylinder housing on my pm engine & it always starts right away.
