Eco Stirling Engine
Posted: Sun Mar 07, 2010 10:01 pm
hey everyone,
i just finished building the Eco Stirling Engine kit and, go figure, its not working. I've tried all the usual suspects, the crankshaft, the epoxy seal, but everything seems to be fine. What else should i look for? Is there a way I can test for a leak in the epoxy and know for sure? When uncovering the test port, and then re-covering the port I do not notice a change when rotating the disc, does this mean there is a gap in the seal?
