There may be better choices but this is what I used .

Come over this way and you wont have any sundays left! 
Missed that one JO, unemployed. We are from the same year, bad year for a job interview. On the other hand, you have two right hands, so no problem to find a new job. Or like Tone and Tom said: start your own company. I did that 25 years ago, worked for a boss for half a year. They made a big mess and I got unemployed. Never wanted to start my company but wanted to take things in my own hands so nobody but myself to blame if things go wrong. No regrets, never. There is always work if you can do something.

Thanks Joep.
Aha, so youāre a 68 model as well?
Ha, Iāve been busy from early mornings to late nights so far. Not much money generated though. On the other hand I havenāt spent much either. Just enough to keep the belly in shape. Round is a shape, isnāt it?
I donāt worry too much - yet. For some reason the corporation pays us full salary until the end of next summer. Something will turn up.

Haha, you suffer from the same? Never was a problem, now I am walking around with a build in airbag! It wont go, only grow.
Getting paid for a full year? Life is better in Scandinavia!

Some things get learned the hard way. Yesterday on the way to work everything was going fine a few miles from the house Dow and suddenly lost all power. Huh switch back to gasā¦did I just burn up the char bed again? Didnāt let it warm up very long. Hmmm. Below 30Ā°, maybe some frozen condensate blocking airways? Drove a bit on dino, tried to switch back, no go. Tried several more times and ended up at work burning almost half a tank of gas. Pulled in the shop and shut it down confused, figured to let it sit and cool off before tearing into it. Had a service call for a broke down truck 228 miles of diesel burning later got back to the shop and things were cooled down. Pulled the lid off the hopper and started digging through the wood pulling it all out and re bagging it. Seemed good and dry, closer I got to the fire tube started finding good charred up wood. Huh, char bed is still thereā¦ok second conclusion was had to be an ice blockage. Been in the shop above freezing so Iāll go through and drain everything out and see if I find anything. Well found the problem immediately, my rear condensation tank is mounted on all sides with fernco fittings and āfloatsā under the truck, got underneath to take the cap off and drain it and Iāll be darned if something looked just a little bit out of place. Tank was, crooked? I gave it a push and it moved all over the place like jello. The passenger side fernco that connects the tank to the rails had slipped off somehow. I tried to push the tank back up and it wouldnt move easily back up in place. I pulled the cap off to drain it thinking it was full of water and heavy and I was right, drained out about 4 gallons. How did that much water get in there since draining it the night before? And only running on wood for a few miles? Didnāt make sense, then it suddenly stopped flowing. Glug, glug, gush!!! A big ball of sooty char came flying out and out came another 3 gallons and over flowed my drain pan making a huge mess on the shop floor. Told you guys I make messes 
now the tank was nice and light I pushed it back up in place tightened the fittings up and lit up for the drive home. Never missed a beat the whole way home ran great. Think I need to flush out the edges of the tank where they form a 90Ā° turn just under the truck bed as I believe thatās where the char got held up and trapped water up in the rails. Next build will have nice smooth transitions anywhere char could possibly hang up

Whooweee @Bobmac ! That rocket fuel makes a big difference! I mixed up a few bags for todayās ride home from work knowing I would sit in traffic a while. Full hopper of Doug fir with about 10% char I could do 5mph faster up all the normal hills on the way home, felt just like when I was running on the cabinet hardwood scraps. About the same milage but definitely a improvement in power 
hopper temp ran 30Ā° hotter then normal, about 110Ā°

Wife and I out running around in the wood burner and right now kinda enjoying the weather .
Over the last several days the temps have been in the mid 70s F . As I post this video the temp is 78F in the shade my back porchā¦ Sure hope the warm weather doesnāt bring in storms.

Thanks for the ride Wayne!
Iām rocking my V10 as well, unfortunately on that expense liquid fuelā¦ Those temperature sure would be nice we have been below freezing for 3 days now, local lakes starting to form ice and 26Ā°f right now in the sun. Little skiffs of snow every night and the roads are a skating ring. My normal 9mpg is down to 7mpg running tires at 10psi to keep traction on the way to work in the mornings. Canāt wait for this weather to pass and get the wood burner fired up on all these new chunks!

Thanks for the ride Wayne.
78F - thatās not fare. Thatās about a 78 degree difference to what weāve had lately. The woodburners donāt mind, but I do.

Time for some carb cleaningā¦like a thousand miles ago

Would not have imagined that carb would work on gas at all when you started cleaning. That was interesting. Not familiar with soot like that. Would carb cleaner break it down? Would some sort of filter media in your pipes, like a sock pulled over a smaller diameter tube, be too restrictive?

I really donāt know and to be honest I am floored it was running like that! I have never seen a carb so packed and still able to run. And I just did my top speed run of 75mph like a week ago! It was only running on the front barrels, 650cfm cut in 2 and still cruising like nothing was wrong

Iām wondering what Jacobās carb looked like after his trip, or was he running MPFI. I donāt remember.

I canāt speak for woodgas soot but with char ash soot throttle body spray will clean it out. I use it when running so it chews up the soot that may have gotten there. Had to do that when a filter media failed for the Mazda. I bet some seafoam spray placed under the aircleaner lid will clean it up and spit it out.

Iām thinking itās all char ash soot by the time it gets to the carb.

Maybe so. I think Kristijan has said thereās less ash in woodgas soot than there is in a pure charcoal system. Probably not as abrasive or harmful either. Chargas soot can scratch things up with the fly ash still in it.

Marcus, I think you made it clear now why most prefer an āunder the carb setupā or mpfi
