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 !!!

Thanks Daniel it sounds awesome running and I'm glad the camera's mic picked up the sound. I'm looking forward to spending some more time with it and adjusting that flame to see how slow the engine will run.

How are you going with your new Nikon? Bet you're over the moon with it!
