Jim, I love that stamper...best looking one I have ever seen and it works well off the relatively low power PM engine.  I have same engine and love it...though struggle to get it going each time I start it.  Well built engines as well, just tempermental.

Rog

Rog if they don't start on the very first go they seem to get a little condensation in the cylinder which then makes them a PITA to get going. Like Bruce mentioned above, if mine doesn't start first time I warm mine up, though I run a gas flame over the cylinder to drive off the condensation.

Does anyone know why PMR calls these (and others in this line) 'Solar engines' ?
