Haven't run this for awhile and first time on gas.

That feed water tank is a brilliant idea and definitely something I need to copy. So many run these engines with the pump dry, and it can’t be good for it... What did you use for the little brass funnel?

Also a good tip on adding oil to the water to prevent splashing. I’ve used mineral oil in the past instead of water.

Appreciate the comments all.

Nick, Ozsteamdemon made the whole brass reservoir and funnel setup for me.

Well that makes it all the more special!

I’m sure I can find something in the parts bin that will work...

Thanks Tommy.
