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.  |

And here is what I hooked it up to:

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  _________________

THe little ones are fun to watch, even if they lack some power. I still run my engines without running any accessories with them. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

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. |
