Close. But, no Cigar.......

Hello All.....
I'm just emerging, from the winter hybernation period, spring cleaning, round toits, gonna do's, etc......
Mid February, another orphan flame licker arrived. This one's, tiny! :scratch:
As I understand. Made in Germany. Travelled to Denmark. Then to Hereford. (UK). Finally, to my door, in Derbyshire.
No arrival pics. Here's, Little Munchkin.......
Bore, 13mm. Stroke, 11mm. Not ideal dimensions.......
The cam, was an eccentric.......
Now, it is a 120* cam. With 6mm lift.........
The undersize, alloy piston. Was replaced with graphite. The cotton wick replaced with s/s mesh.
I've done all I can think of, to bring this orphan to life.........
Close. But, no cigar! (I think, I'm trying to change the laws of physics)......
Any further ideas? Anyone? Pleese.....
David.

Hi Dave
Good to see your back in the shed, working on the orphans. I've no suggestion with this one, but I'd take a bet that you'll get it working.

Hiya Stew!
Thanks for your confidence, in my prowess....... I'm having a few doubts, with this one! :scratch:

Thanks for the drawings! :thumbup: Though, I don't see how I could adapt, to this one...... :scratch:
I think, the last try, will be a piece of feeler gauge.
Thing is.... There's nothing actually wrong with it! It's so tiny, anything slightly out of spec is a problem....
