That looks like a good workhorse. It looks like there aren't any air tubes. Is that correct? I would have expected that to affect the air/fuel ratio. What type of mantle/heater element are you using?
You are right, Nils. I would have expected the same but I decided to do a try and it works fine; only the start is a problem because it doesn't run fine until the pre heating flame is completely extingished. The mantle? I made it from an iron mesh. I have to improve it; it's too rudimentary but it works. Juan
