Really nice James...good buy from Moose and a smooth runner. Yes, might need a SV spring and maybe gaskets...but otherwise it seems a fine runner. | ||
| James |
Thanks Rog! The whistle.. I unscrewed it and it nearly blew me head off, first time I've used one

When I steamed mine I didn't have the right burner, so mine ran slow as well mate. It looks slow, but that will be sorted with a stronger safety valve spring. Make sure those pistons are well lubricated too, as that makes a big difference. |

Aye they were mate. I took it to bits, oiled it, put it together, filled the oilers, and kept oiling it through the run! | ||

Looks like James has another real nice engine. Great runner it is too. | ||

Great video Jimbo!
A stronger spring would probably make it go a lot quicker! |

Looking good James!
With a decent spring on the SV that'll tear along....also worth noting that Bowman burners don't really like it outsoide. Bit of video of mine just after I'd finished fixing it a few years ago, follow the link. Running on esbit in the vid - didn't have the proper burner yet. Your pistons are in better nick than mine, so yours will run better. http://webzoom.freewebs.com/odilon/video%20files/m122.mov |

Looks great Moosey!! I know it's the SV that's buggered, cos it was the same on my M158 AND M101

Looks good! I've been fiddling with my M122 today too... I still need a burner and a whistle for it. | ||
| James |
