After a START sequence was initiated, at some point before the Prime Mover (V-16 Clark, V-12 KVS I/R,KVH) was turning over/cranking on starting air, with ALL NG INLET VALVES CLOSED and all NG DISCHARGE VALVES CLOSED as well as the 6">8" RECYCLE line is OPEN (Line connecting INLET HEADER to DISCHARGE HEARDER)50>100 LBS of Natural gas was purged into the compressors. Then the main unit would start to crank. On the V-16 CLARKS there is an air VALVE for each POWER CYLINDER (16). Not the VALVE in the POWER CYLINDER HEAD but the VALVES inside the housing that sits on top of the TWIN CAMSHAFTS.

The valves I'm referring to, are located under a 1 1/2" or possibly a 2" Pipe Plug on the STARTING AIR HEADER with a 1" STEEL line/Tubing connecting starting air to the START VALVE in the head. We required all the Air volume available to start these units.

Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
