Tom, sorry for inviting myself, just so want to get a gasifier going. After being in the Army I get overzealous about going after what I want. 
. Will wait for a possible invite.

John,
My wife and I like to visit up there. Saint Ignace, Lake Michigan along the south shore west of the bridge, The Soo, lately the Lake Huron shore near Detour Village. I was born just north of Detroit, now live south of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Yes, get those machines working on gasoline to prove they will function, but on charcoal you will not need some of the accessories!

On the smaller one we are going to mount a belt driven generator head (4500 watt from a old Honda generator) so we have a mobile power plant. Plug in electric chainsaw and we can make more charcoal.

Whatâs the CC and horsepower rating of those engines?

Not sure of the CC. The 2 cylinder Wisconsin engines are rated at 18hp.

The original Honda engine on the generator was 10hp. Figure with the loss with chargas should be ok.

Twin cylinder engines run sweet as on charcoal gas much much smoother than single cylinder if only i could afford a Honda twin engined inverter generator i would be happy as a pig in muck !

The work begins. Just getting all the rusted linkages and stuff freed up. The motor on this one turns over fine with decent compression. Havenât started on the other other than soaking everything down in penetrating oil.

The alternator was froze up, once we removed that the engine turned over fine. Havenât hooked a battery to it yet, just by hand.
