Hello, Jeff! 
  
  
  
There are two logical "formulations" that, when both used, gives a practical working solution for an "independent" motor starting from a common gas-line. 
  
  
  
A common gasifier delivery line usually (in a good system) keeps below 50 cm H2O. 
  
  
  
A motor with tight valves, without overlap and hidden crankcase ventilation into the manifold develops ~ 500 cm H2O at cranking. 
  
  
  
  
  
Combined with the fact: 
  
  
  
  
  
Identical pressure drops over identical openings (slots) results in IDENTICAL FLOWS.  (with similar fluids) 
  
  
  
Using identical ganged twin flaps with identical geometry for gas and air will deliver a 50/50 air/gas mix, if starting both from atmospherical pressure.  
  
  
  
  
  
The secondary air intake pressure has to be regulated to equal the momentary gas-line  
  
pressure with a membrane and air-line flap, sensing the resulting air-pressure versus the gas-line pressure.  
  
  
  
  
  
This way the total pressure drops in both "legs" will constantly be equal. 
  
  
  
  
  
To furthermore assist slow crank starting, the twin-flaps will be closed by a trimmable spring closing the flaps COMPLETELY.  
  
  
  
A manifold-vacuum membrane or cylinder, diameter ~2-3" opens the twin-flaps  
  
when the spring starts to give in for a vacuum of ~100 - 200 cm H2O. 
  
  
  
This opening increases as the motor fires, and has to be controlled by a manually settable stopper = idle limiter! 
  
  
  
When fired, there has to be a "change over" to automatic run...

Dear List,
    
Is it practical to fuel two engines with one gas producer? I think a check valve in each fuel line would be needed but would it be a problem to get the second engine running? My system would consist of a charcoal gas producer with two 6.5hp engines.

    
Thanks,
Jeff
