I decided to fire it up and got it to power an accessory.

It was very weak, but by itself, a very fast runner.

Watch this space for pics and videos.

A little blurry, but here it is warming up:

Hey Nick, that's a real nice buy. Well done  

Nice pics. Even though it's small, it looks like it has a bit of power with that flywheel

I found out it doesn't have much power, but was fun to run.

THe little ones are fun to watch, even if they lack some power. I still run my engines without running any accessories with them.

It's weak, but when it's running by itself, it goes way too fast.

I'll have to take SG's advice and put a "cover" on the burner to decrease the flame.
