I very fine engine there Sir.

You will obtain a longer run with the original two wick burner.

Your burner is for the MM1 there

Mirko, you have done a nice job of conserving the original finish on that one, a real classic that should run beautifully.  Do PM member Barry1946...he's got all the washer types for Mamod and sells a nice little tool to compress the SV and easily replace the O ring.


Already done

Yes, already heard it's the wrong burner
This small burner is also faulty..the meth-pipe to the wick has got a crack...got to solder that up

Nicely done.

Had rotten rubber on the SV of both of mine.  I just went to an auto parts store and bought a selection of the smallest o-rings they had.  You've got to stretch the smallest one possible over the top of the SV, otherwise they tend to get one side blown out by the pressure and leak.
