One cylinder means it needs a push to get started. Two or more cylinders usually are self starting once the forward/reverse/neutral lever is advanced to a go setting. No water gauge means you can't talk to others or have your attention move from the engine. When the engine speeds up after running for awhile, the boiler has too little water allowing the fire to heat the water more rapidly than when adequate water is in the boiler. It is a good idea to stop the engine and refill with water at that point. With experience running that engine, you will know in minutes how long to run the engine at various speed settings, at least on track you usually run.

I am planning to buy an unused Aster JNR 8550 from 1976 and would like to use it for what is was made for. It is a one-cylinder engine and how does this work in the garden? Also the lack of a Water Gauge Glass puzzles me regarding how to now if still water is present in the boiler. Hope to hear from you, Bertie Tilmans (NL) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Mijn Postvak In wordt beschermd door SPAMfighter 458 spam-mails zijn er tot op heden geblokkeerd.
