Looks good!
I noticed the water tension is quite high so the water flows irregurlary...maybe a drip of dish soap could help??
|

| Les |
Turn it into a bubble bath

Thanks for the tip about the dish soap.
I had to run the engine at a slow speed. As I got it going faster, it stopped pumping water. |

Had the same problem and NO CLUE why it does that 
|

| Les |
Maybe it develops an airlock. 
|

That's why the electric engine works great for it.
I can turn my variac down, so it makes less steam and runs at a constant, slow speed.

Les, the one that you just bought looks very similar. I will be interested to hear how it runs. | ||||||
| Les |
It will take about a week to get here as I only won it tonight. |

I know you posted the model and date of yours, do you know anything about this one? | ||||||

Another lovely piece

Do you think it would bubble much?
|
||||||
| Les |
No I do not but it would give it a good clean inside. 
Before you put water in and ran it did you put any oil into the piston/pump?? |
