Small, simple and (!) very effective this engine is! I especially like the footage from 7:34 onwards. What happened to the engine that made it run that slow? I think it's worth trying to run this twin cylinder steam engine with 80% meth and/or only one burner when there is enough steam in order to reduce the RPM. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Neat video. Is this engine as new as the Wilesco D7 you did yesterday?
Thanks!! This is a new engine to me but the engine actually dates back to the 1950/60s

Thanks! Yes it is very simple. It ran slowly from that point onwards because I blew out the burner and only re-started one of the wicks.
@teescottageguyproductions That explains it! Reduction of energy input reduces RPM … 👍
@SteamDreamDE absolutely! That’s how I intend to run this engine mostly, nice and slow
