Have you tried leaving the carborator on and supplying the woodgas to the air intake of the carb? I thought this would allow the generator to regulate engine speed to keep the frequency at 60Hz.
Interesting, What you say about the old cast iron engines. With the cash for clunkers many of the old cars with the solid old engines that would be ideal for running of woodgas are being destroyed or scrapped. If the economy goes down as many predict, imported gasoline will become far too expensive for many. I wonder how the newer more complicated auto engines would cope running off wood gas. All the vehicles I see running off wood gas are older models. What do you think?
I've heard you can't run a two-stroke generator on woodgas... is this true or just difficult? The reason given was there's no way to add the oil to the mix.
for the sweet spot on the air intake, you could make a simple plate with a "set screw" and adjust the set screw to where the sweet spot is,,, so in essence you have a closed or off position and a open (sweet spot) or run position. to save yourself some aggravation of having to find that sweet spot each time.
@evcrawfish If it were me, I would use a globe valve in series with the ball valve. Adjust the globe valve to find the "sweet spot" and then you could leave the ball valve full open or full closed.
no info, no price on website, must give them your info to spam to even look at brochure---blech...

It depends on the two-cycle engine, because some are oil injected, therefore, you don't have to mix fuel/oil
