yep only have unleaded petrol but it works nicely, dont wanna black it up too much till i get some aspen on the go

had to tighten up the bolt where the adjustor knob thing plugs in as was a small leak but it was lpretty loose and stopped as soon as it was tight. (like in this video)

made a brew on it and started after first prime, they are built to last imo
