I actually didn't look close enough to see the size. I was just going by
what people said at that point. When I was as Accucraft's office I was
told that they had always used a #3 jet. Maybe there was a QA issue with
the old ones?

That may be true today. The earlier models had a
larger orifice. If you remember the one we changed at
my place had the original jet and the opening appeared
to be 1.5X the size of the #3 we installed. There has
been considerable discussion about this change, all
either neutral or positive when
Chuck,
I haven't done this yet. I don't know if I will. I do remember a post,

that may have the answer. If you search for "Aster Mike Springing" in
the archives, you'll find the rest of the thread.
I still have to do the ax
What is the difference in the #3 gas jet that people have been installing
and the one that comes with Ruby? I was told by Accucraft that the stock
jet _is_ a number 3.

Has anyone replaced the springs on the Mike? Mine are very weak and cause
the Mike to lean slightly left looking forward from the backhead. I may
stretch them, but would prefer to replace them. At least the four rearward
ones. That way it would help the slightly leaning backward affect also.

Couldn't you just use a filler bottle similar to ones supplied by Sulphur
Springs and add a coupling that would mate with the fitting already on the
Mikado for the tender pump? What I don't know is whether all the Aster
Mikados' have the "goodall" type fitting for the tender hand pump and/or
Steve,
The 70/30 mix is available at camping stores in a 500cc silver cylinder with
the proper threads for a gas fller fitting. The name escapes me right now.
The #3 jet I purchased from Bob Pauly at Sulphur Springs.

By filling the boiler to the top with pre-heated water, then removing 10cc
of water, filling the fuel tank with 70/30 butane/propane mix, and utilizing
a #3 gas jet, I have achieved 30 minute run times at a very slow speed
pulling four of the Hartland little plastic gondola cars on level track.

What is the approximate run time of the Ruby Locomotive?
Just got a little extra cash and San Val is just down the freeway with both
Ruby's and an Ida.
