NONE

all modern helicopters use jet turbine engines.

if you look at older helicopters, they suddenly changed from lattice construction with one or two people on board to multi-occupancy solid bodied ones.

this is when most manufacturers changed from piston to jet engines (during the Vietnam War it was noticeable (watch old episodes of MASH or the film apocalypse now)

a few very small and self-build helicopters still use piston engines and are generaly 4 to 8 cylinders... the problem is they're relatively low powered compared to jet turbines and massively heavier.

Will an autometer number 19304 tachometer work on a 20hp Kohler twin engine?

A tachometer works by measuring how many time a spark plug fires. If the tachometer is designed to determine the rpm of an 8 cylinder engine it will not show the correct speed of a 2 cylinder engine. If I remember correctly if the tachometer designed for an 8 cylinder is used on a 4 cylinder engine it will show twice the number of actual rpm. So an 8 cylinder tachometer used on a 2 cylinder engine will show 4 times the actual rpm of the 2 cylinder engine. If you check around there are special tachometers designed for 2 cylinder engines.

What are the effects of a spark plug not working?

A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel/air mixture inside the cylinder of an internal combustion engine. If the spark plug isn't working, the cylinder won't fire. In a multi-cylinder engine, this will result in rough running and loss of power. In a small, single cylinder engine, this will result in the inability to start the engine.


How are internal and external combustion different?

In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
