This burner works very dependably and will not be removed until there is a problem. Additional information and photos will be posted as they become available.
Right now it is very nice just to enjoy this reliable firing system that has a spark ignition and no pilot to fiddle with.

I now own the 1919 with the gun force fired Stanley once owned by Carsten
Henningsen. It works wonderfully. It is easy to control and makes all the steam
wanted. It is also nice that if anyone would want to build this type of burner,
no alterations are needed to the car with the single exception of converting it
to a 12 volt system.
In examining the car with the hood up, one can not see that there is anything non Stanley on the car at a first glance. The burner runs off the same Stanley fuel system and eliminates all the trouble with a pilot going out, ...or backfires due to clogged jets. It is well thought-out design that has made me very impressed with the design.
If you are
considering putting one in, it is well worth it.
