It's a bit tricky to adjust the trunnion spring, but you'll get it going.

Good Luck,

So this must be the little screw/spring for the piston mount - what is the proper "adjustment"?  As I did take this screw off to check things out - which was a PITA to get off and back on again.  I just tighten it down went I put it back on.  I took it off since I though the piston was broken (the seesawing action) before I learned this is how the engine works.

What was the O-ring size for the sight glass? Mine leaks slightly from the top, though the corrosion has me concerned if I could actually get it a part without breaking stuff.  I already messed up my tank after needing to sweat back in the whistle/steam line fitting on the front of the tank.  I don't think I'll ever get that front cover steam fixed that I compromised (pretty sure if I try I'll make it worse).
