Two vids, just couldnt quite control the speed with the regulator. 2 speeds obtained were medium speed and stop.

As Sandmans off to Canada I tried to introduce a bit of a Scottish lilt in the second vid.

Once you get the Safety Valve sorted out, that will be a great runner.

It is a very nice runner, it just needs a bit of tweaking that's all.

Lose the couple of leaks and it will run better. That is almost there if i'm honest! seems to be going well!

What are the wicks like in the burner? raise them a bit for more power.

Unless the band from the SE2 to the wheels is too tight?

In the second vid, a close up of the SV leak is shown. It looks to be blowing off
pressure as it should. But maybe it needs a new seal or o-ring at the top?
The old safety valve spring may have lost some strength, too.
