i want to start a business about cleaning mini steam engines do you have any dirty engines that you don't want that i could have to practice on and then send them back.
An interesting idea, but I imagine most of (being particular) would be hesitant to put a loved engine through the "riggers" of the postal system & very real potential damage . & if it were an engine we didn't care much about, we wouldn't spend the funds (both ways) to have it cleaned by someone other than ourselves.
Good luck.
yes that makes senses that you don't want your engine to go through that. thank for the info
I would be very careful and have an understanding with the customer as to what happens while the engine is in transit or in your hands.
I don't offer to repair engines for viewers to my site for that reason, it is not always obvious that a particular part is fragile and easily broken. Some parts are next to impossible to find so I may end up buying an expensive engine just to get that one part.
wow. thank you I just did a wilesco d5 cleaning for some one and they love it. it was sitting in a basement for 40 years it was a lot of fun to clean. thank you so much for your comment and your info.
Glad you made it over to the forum from YouTube.
Keep checking out eBay, there's some really good (lucky) buys on there sometimes and being in the U.S there's a fair bit for sale on there.
