Title: Rider-Ericsson Hot-Air Engine running Weeden Accessories

Hello from Brooklyn...

  I have a Rider Ericsson pump engine that runs pretty well.
It runs very fast so I decided to see if accessories could
slow it down.  The video shows the results - it is strong
enough to do some work.  The slower it goes the less likely
it will shake itself to death.

  The only problem is a pesky, leaky, butane tank valve.  New
O-Rings and O-ring lube helps.  Jin ought to work on an alcohol
fueled version.  From my lips to Jin's ears!

Happy steamer,
Wayne
