Hi David,
you probably will need a bigger boiler, but you can try superheating the steam by looping the steam line down the boiler flue. Also make sure that the burner is on it's highest setting without blowing itself out.
However, the boiler and the burner that are meant to go with this engine (B3) are double the size of the one you and I have.
I think you engine is running faultlessly, as do all the Saitos I've come across.

Great to see David.
These engines really are a touch of class.

I do think the Marine engines are the most impressive,

Nice. I can see why Saito's are so highly valued. Very smooth and looks to be very well made.
