Bicycle tubes would cover chain nicely

Thanks for the reply , it's always harder to type what I mean than to speak and mime what I mean.
I was all set to make changes, just to make it the same as most the others. -
It should be a jet out of the tube. Probably you have insufficient gas pressure. If you're cranked up as far as you can go, then it may be a low pressure gas regulator. You want one that is adjustable between 0 and 20/30 psi (and high pressure hose to match... don't take chances.)
I list my parts with some links here:

Similar kits can be found elsewhere.
i have run up to 15 psi but i will try more
i guess my question was regarding the orientation of my burner in the chamber it points upwards toward the ceiling. unlike most i have seen which point at the floor.
here is a photo worth more words

Sounds like I have boker , I have step on foot and weight on side. Thanks
-
Used ones are worth more than new ones. Btw I'm a new one
-
Is there any foolproof way to tell the difference between a boker Trenton and a us Trenton?
-
Helps me , I just got a small single burner. Homemade and second hand . I am doing some tooning. The odd thing about mine is the flame points at the ceiling, is that wrong or just different?
-
My 165 lb Trenton is marked 165. But I don't know it's country of origin.

alright thanks guys. the main reason i ask is i dont like the grain of the handle in the last 6 inches on the working end, and would like to get rid of that first. we sahll see what i come up with.

today i was in berkley ca and spotted a flypress for sale at omega salvage, it seemed to be in working order. the tag sayd $475. it was on its side on a pallet so i could not make it move. it seemed to have about an 8 inch throw and maybe 14-16inches wide . it seemed to have fast threads ... at least 2 inches per turn. it had an H shape to it the whole unit was probobly 3 foot by 3foot with weights in the neiborhood of 8 lbs each.
anyhow i thought i would pass the word along, as i do not have space or skill to use one -

Cutting- Torch is the fastest tool folks will generally have at their disposal. If you don't have a torch or other heavy tools try this. Cut thru the base and web with a bandsaw, score the hardened face with a grinder in line with the bandsaw cut, put the cut over a fulcrum of some sort with the grinder notch facing down and snap off with a sledge hammer. Wear your ppe.
i have also seen evidence of cuts made with cold chisel then snapped, as described above. although i have never seen it done -
Is that goose a civilian or Lapd? Great bikes lots of character. Harpers Motoguzzi is a good source for parts here is a link

i think its a civilian, but i dont know how to tell the dif, it was my dads. it was last registered in 87, and has been sitting outdoors ever since. i dont know why it was parked, motor seemes to be seised. but its all there. -
i got the old edge of the anvil... is the new one revised?
and a 73 moto guzzi eldarado (in need of much love) -
i too thought it was all about the salvage.....

Stay away from women son!
I know of no other single thing on the planet that can interfere with forge time like a woman can.
Consider yourself duly warned.
i dont know it seems to have the opposite effect for me, she must like the big smile on my face (it cant be the fregrance , or the black foundation all over my face) -
ohh , now lets hear of some in other parts of the world. for the sake of the common good (and my entertainment).

thanks every one
micheal.... i have simuler memories of my dad. i think we brought home a blue shwinn 10 speed with a broken rear axle. i was about ten . -
nope, i havent set that stuff up yet im in sonora ca, about 3 hours from sf 2 from sac and 1 hour to yosemite.

i have been trying to locate a salvage yard in northern ca. with little success. i think it would be a good thread to show yards all over the states and a brief review. thanks

-
