I am very new to this I saw my first flame licker engine a few weeks ago on utube had have one so I purchased this one on ebay it seems to be in good shape (I am a machinist by trade but I now work in clinical engineering in hospital so this means I do not have all the machines at my disposal any more just the basics) I removed the piston and as I retract it by hand I can fill the vacuum that is created. I will mic the bore and piston later after it cools down. My problem is that I am unable to get this one to run I can see the flame being drawn in as I turn it over but no luck. Yes I am using denatured alcohol for fuel. I did notice that counter clockwise it will spin for several revolutions as when i try to spin it cw (towards the front) I can fill compression
any thought on what it might take to get this running would be a great help.
Thx
