It is getting a tiny bit of steam to the right side. It is as though the valve never gets off neutral so it cracks open and then shuts.

I agree, It's not getting steam to the right side cylinder.

I have used gas tank sealer with good success.

Correction, the drawing is for a 2.5" scale governor.

My apology. I should have read it again.

Glenn, read his original post.

You can make a short rod connector of suitable diameter with a hole in the end so it will fit over the threaded part where the handle was. Cross drill the rod and valve part and put a pin or a set screw to hold it on and attach a smaller rod to come up to where you want your handle to be. This way t...

I like the idea of paint ball gun quick disconnects. They look pretty small, what is the distance across the flats of the hex? I can't seem to find a spec for this on the net. Currently, I am just using cone unions I made myself, with a nipple on one end for the rubber hose. The downside is, of cou...

I've never liked the quick disconnects due to their bulkiness. On my last engine I took a 5/16" flare fitting and machined the brass part to accept an o-ring. The groove has a bit of back cut so the o-ring snaps on and stays. It really works great and is so easy to hook up.

I have a CAD drawing for unions from 1/8" to 3/8" copper tube. Send me a PM if you would like a copy.

what the heck is it?
