    That’s a great piece of early info for Gloria in Australia, @Anthony.

    I’ve never tried to run a Gloria on methylated spirits, though!

    methylated spirits, An interesting claim.
    I suppose, if they supplied an enlarged jet and some form of air restrictor it could be possible :-k

    Possibly blocking one air inlet of this 1914-17 Gloria design?
