Impressive that the 3" Jensen boiler could power it. It must be pretty well built to run that slowly, nice video Nick.

I was going to dig out the 50 but thought I’d give it a try since the 20 was already out. I didn’t time it, but I know I got at least a 15-20 minute run with the valve barely open.

Looks like your new arrival is properly built and still within good tolerances to run so slow so easily!

WELL DONE on getting that beauty into you fold!!!

Have you tried lung power yet?

Try the other end.  If you ate what I did last night, you might have to bolt it down.
