Re: Help needed with a new carb!
Photos are old units and out of date, we knew of the casting error at the very start, chokes have now been modified in manufacture and fit perfectly.

Re: LPG conversion won't run on petrol when switch from gas
Just to add to Aidans post, if the conversion has been done correctly, the fuel pump will be running all the time even on LPG, it is the injector set that gets switched off, so heed his advice and look for any place it might have had contact with an earth or chassis point, lots of good advice on thi...

There are 3 wires, a blue, a white and a green, we've made one cut in the loom, pass the long side behind the glove box etc routing carefully, then join these together, the resultant red and black left, red to a fused positive supply of 15amp and the black to earth, are you putting them on as they a...

Re: Kick down
John you can adjustthe kick down by the rod that goes to the the throttle linkage, lengthening the rod will give you an earlier kickdown, you need to check why its stopped working though, fluid level ok? throttle cable stretched? linkage at gearbox come adrift or seized?

Re: Engine Suddenley Stopped
Exactly right because of the lower calorific value of lpg it takes a fair bit of power to ignite it, this tends to load the coil because its working so much harder to ignite the lpg, cheap coil start to warm up and in any electrical circuit the hotter the unit the bigger the resistance, and because ...

Re: Engine Suddenley Stopped
Trying it on petrol may not give you the root cause, by all means try the above and they are good suggestions, however LPG is harsh on the ignition system and it could be a sign that your coil if giving up, they will run until it overheats and breaks down, let it cool and its fine again for 1/2 hour...

Re: electric fuel pump
And for safety sake run through a relay with the oil sender as switched earth or the charge light (blue wire) as a positive trigger, then if you stall or heaven forbid have a fire your pump won't carry on if the engine stalls and feed it.
