• Pre lockdown I purchase a Stuart 10 H and boiler from TM
  Engine is covered in oil and needs a good clean .
  Tried it with air low pressure and the piston was in the right place and it self started.
  There feels like no wear but cleaning may revel other wise

  Burner i suspect to be a pressurised kerosene.
