That's awesome Russ. Glad it's still around. I've got a lump sat in the shed for mine when it's finally all welded up

Love to drag up an old thread, i do apologise, but i am in the midst of building one of these for myself. I dont suppose the clutch was ever identified, ive tried to read part number from the images but cant msake it out. Using my parts catalogue at work im struggling to identify a suitable option. ...

Glad your sorted Kev, I'm getting there!

I've had the Carb of and cleaned the jets as it wouldn't previously idle on petrol. . I also adjusted the throttle transfer jet and the other adjustment on a small Cam (cant remember it's name) following a video on the wiki. Put in new gaskets, Put it back on the van and had a couple or air leak iss...

I didn't know you could richen the petrol side tbh. Thought it was fixed jets!

If it's driving, running and starting so well on LPG, leave it. The problem is on the carb. You need to find out why it needs the idle screw turned in so far to get the correct idle speed on petrol. (You may have gone as far as you can without a gas analyser (I sound like a broken record)). It's pr...

Single. Y piece.

No idles and runs perfectly on petrol.

So to report back. The van is starting easily on Lpg now, and drives fantastic. No flat spots or spluttering right through to 70. It's however idling way to fast. I tried reducing the bypass a tad but then I couldn't start on Lpg hot or cold so raised it. I assume it's running rich on Lpg so I need ...

Should I try 0 bypass and increase the bias some?

I guess it's the bias that increases and decreases the idle speed?

I can increase the bias to 15 flats and the idle gets faster but still slowly gets erratic and then dies.

OK. So.

Power valve nearly fully open.

Bias 12 flats

Bypass. Half turn.

Engine will start and idle. The idle is slightly erratic and gradually slows until the engine. Dies.

Whats best practice for setting the idle?

I have found that when I opened the power valve the idle would increase. is that normal?
