  • What are the two levers mounted under the steering wheel? Is one of them the choke? He uses the left one on startup and adjusts the right one while driveing. thanks

  • The left one is ignition timing and the right one is fuel/air mix. Its actually the right one he adjusts mostly in startup.

    by 3. question i meant, that the engine, using wood gas, is a little weaker than when driven on gasoline... i wondered how much weaker...

    i know trucks in japan were so much weaker they needed to be pushed up hills...

  • yes, it is feasible... well, depending on how much organic matter you have nearby.

    acording to net search, you can run both...

    you can run a pump, mower, or any internal com. 4 stroke engine on it.

    check if your pump isn't 2-stroke.

    good luck!

  • 1. It came from the factory like that

    2. the smoke shown was already filtered and ready to go to the engine

    3. ?
