ebinmaine 80,638 #2 Posted August 8 I wonder if a Carter AFB 500 CFM would work on our Kohler engines... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 17,462 #3 Posted August 8 The loose hair made me nervous but applause for the effort! The ME lab at college had a small stand-mounted gas turbine for experiments on airflow and fuel management. We were super-closely supervised when running that sucker--and it was LOUD! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 32,459 #4 Posted August 8 (edited) I bet if @ebinmaine had cleaned up that carb with his patented scientific method it would run perfectly and get phenomenal gas mileage... Edited August 8 by SylvanLakeWH 2 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 69,147 #5 Posted August 8 (edited) Am I skeptical, and tend to think inside the box. Hate to be a Debbie Downer BUT, If the intake runners were blocked off on six of the eight cylinders and their exhaust valves were jacked open and the two cylinders that were being fed were 180 degrees opposed then the two cylinder engine could easily start and run on an insufficient fuel / air supply.

squonk 48,072 #6 Posted August 8 (edited) No drinking gas and no magic smoke! What's not to like! I about lost it when she tightened the carb mounting with metric slip joint pliers then jumped the solenoid with a Left Handed Crescent wrench!
