Just got my newest ebay purchase of a treadle or stepple-type steam engine model. I thought when I won it that it was machinst built but now wonder if China or others make repro steam engine.
sorry about different sie pics-got learn how to fix that
2" stroke and 1 1/2 bore with a working governor and a beauty, BUT on air it does not turn over under 40lbs. Starts to get smooth at 60 and have gone to 90 before air hose popped off.
Seems like alot of air needed for such a small engine. Stands 10 1/2 with 7" flywheel.
What's wrong?
adjustments needed
poorly make
needs alot of running-in
learn to live with it
any help and suggestions greatly appreciated
