Nice job on making a new sight glass!


Does your 365/1 have enough power to run the governor?  I can’t get mine to.   Also mine leaks pools of water, but I can’t see where the water leak is coming from. 

Does yours pool water under the cylinders or just a few drops here and there?

I’ve taken apart the cylinders and the piston moves smoothly in the bore. I can’t tell if there is blow-by or not.     It’s not something that can be fixed I don’t think.
