That's the kind I could watch for as long as you wanted to run it. Your plan for a wooden base will really finish it off. Congratulations. Top job! Dean

The engine isn't meant to go any faster than that, just a steady rhythmic beat that I could, and do, watch for hours. If your meths was too old, it wouldn't even run, so I personally wouldn't worry about it. Super engine. Bogs

Mine kept stopping on the old meths so I got some industrial meths and it was much better with that. Great to watch :bow:
