Hi everyone
Mick here in France, i am new to this forum and steam engines in
general but have a sound mechanical background and was wondering if
anyone here could assist with my technical problem listed below?
I have just managed to aquire a half scale stuart turner sirius model
steam engine and wonder if there is anyone here on the forum that has
any knowledge of them? My problem is that when i try and pressure the
engine using compressed air it turns about a quarter revolution and
pressure locks i am assuming the shuttle valve on the steam chest is
miss timed and can anyone assist with info on checking the timing
please?
Along with the engine i also got the boiler and blowlamp , but no
connecting pipework does anyone have any pics or drawings that i can
work off to get the engine up and running please?
Here's a link to some pictures of it.

Mick in France.
