Look at the price on this one, I don't get it. The thing barely looks runnable.

A sad day for reptiles...
Steve Irwin died monday at 44 years of age. :( He was killed by a stingray while diving. I can't believe that a stingray took him out after spending his life jumping on crocodile's backs and playing with venomous snakes. He will be missed, I know I love all his shows. It seems that he's started a le...

re: Copper pulsejet?
I was playing around in the shop today and thought I'd weld some copper, just for fun. Copper TIG welds nicely! It takes lots of amps of course, but welds easy once you get the settings right. I used a piece of solid 16ga copper wire for filler.

Ok, my bad. That tank setup is fine.
On my FWE's, I have had great luck with a piece of 1/4" brake line (available at autozone for like $3.00). I don't use a nozzle at all, just the brake line with a clean cut.

I was at the CO-OP the other day buying some roundup and noticed that they have copper sulfate in 20lb bags. It's used by dairy farmers in a foot bath for the cows, to protect their hooves from infections.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
There's your problem! You NEED to use a bigger tank, I doubt you'll ever have any luck with a torch valve and a 1lb tank.

re: Starting problems (Lockwood)
Congratulations!!! Quite a rush isn't it?
After my first startup my father and I spent at least 30 minutes in his yard laughing like hyenas. We were forced to quit laughing when my mother came outside and discovered we blew down her ornamental japanese maple tree with the exhaust.

re: Welding tips for mig
You need more air, and more fuel. A source of compressed air would be a great help to you here. That engine will run, you just need to get the starting procedure down. Also make sure your fuel pipe will not wiggle, and is centered in the intake, ending just barely inside the intake flare. P.S. There...

Actually, I (and I'm sure others) noticed you haven't been here before the spam issue.

re: Starting problems (Lockwood)
It sounds like you need to give it a little more fuel, and keep playing with the air. It can be difficult starting your first engine. I know I had a hard time with my first, but after that first start it becomes really easy. I didn't have much luck with a leafblower, but with my compressor it starte...

Lose the regulator! This has been discussed a few hundred times here. I doubt you'll ever get it to start with a regulator in place. You can buy adapters for propane tanks without the regulator. I don't know where you are, but here there are stores called Tractor Supply Co. They have them for around...

re: Welding tips for mig
Not too bad for your first welds... The #1 most important rule for welding is to make sure your materials are absolutely clean. Not doing this is probably the most common and biggest mistake made by people learning to weld. Grind everything down until it's shiny clean, and then wipe it down good wit...
