Great little engine to fire up!
Had it working some small accessories off the drive pulley, need to have the wick higher though when its working hard.

I wouldn't mind trying building 1 of those super burners is there anything critical like the whole size or is it pretty straightforward obviously the unit has to be sealed on the filler end.

Yes you want the unit sealed and try to have the jet hole the smallest you can make it.
Make sure to pull the fibreglass wick right through to the hole and have a goodly amount coiled up in the tank.

Denatured Alcohol always burns almost invisible blue for me, and I only start getting yellow in the flame as the fuel is exhausted and it starts burning the wick material.

.... and yes, I always keep my wicks really short and tight on these engines as well.
