Cyldon 13/3Since getting this engine from Ian, I have only run it the once and it has been sitting around not doing very much.
I was at a loose end today, so I thought I'd start cleaning/polishing it. I didn't want to make it so shiny that I had to break out a pair of sunglasses, so I worked in the brasso then took it off again with a polishing pad on my Dremel. Then when it was all polished up, I went over it with a cotton mop.
The burner was first.

Yes, I am going to trim the wicks down 
It is the engine's turn tomorrow

Attentions turned to the engine itself today.
As the Aluminium is so rough, I couldn't get such a nice finish on it. Although there is a bit of a shine there...

I'll probably put a fire under her soon

They do come up at regular intervals, Mike. So I'm sure you will be able to find one during the course of the year

It might make an appearance at the April meet, depending on how much I can carry
