Dear Charles
Your stated need is for "about 20 HP" at 1,800 RPM
You should be able to get about 21.4 HP with an engine of 2500 CC (153 Cubic
Inches), burning about 19 kG/Hr (42 Lbs/Hr)
It would be very helpful if others could comment on the other aspects of an
engine.... in particular, the Ignition system, whether Distributor or
"Computer Controlled", and the implications of using a Fuel Injected engine,
rather than a carburetor engine.
Best wishes,
Kevin

_SUMMARY_
Hi All,
I have several engines to chose from here for my next wood gas project.
Going to go ahead with it and just hope the stink has settled form my
insurance company ripping hair out of their heads. ( hope they are not on
here.. bugger )
Besides this is not a heating device so should not count.
What out of the junk yard specials would be considered ideal for wood gas
give I Only need this time to come up with 20 hp at 1,800 rpm?
I have everything in the shop for a Mike clone.
Spending a few bucks for the right engine is going to be real cheep just
now.
I am not keen on stuck valves through pistons. ( it that ever happens...
never mind )
Regards all,
Charles
