What a very willing runner is that one! A bit of a noise maker as well, so that at certain speeds it sounds fully industrial in operation. I also am very impressed with the flame position adjustment system, though I have seen similar on old German engines as well if I recall correctly.

What a cracker you have there Jim .... thanks for sharing it with us all !!!
