On test the axle and hand pumps worked well and the injector picked up cleanly. The safety valve opened reliably and maintained pressure within prescribed limits, although sometimes needing the lightest of taps with the shovel to close.
An engine whose performance belies its looks - something that could be run as-is, although with scope for cosmetic improvement if desired.
