thanks, its really fun to play around with, it has no power to it, but its still fun
I honestly have no clue where this engine came from, this, along with my lawn boy engine, and 2 model airplane engines were found in my grandfathers basement, this steam engine has no markings or anything on it, so I don't know much about it
make sure you put some light oil in the cyl and the bearings! one of these days ill get my engines out and going again! and btw it seems to be running at a good speed!
yeah ill get them up eventually! they are alot of work! that is why gas engines were invented! you got to water them up fire em up check all safty valves and water level, thev you got to oil the oilers and wait for pressure. then it will run. but if the water leval goes to low it will superheat the boiler and go BOOM! we try to avoid that by watching the level!
I think you can get new boilers and parts for them on the jensen web site. just got some parts for my newer 25
