Before you do all the work taking servo out, check the one way servo vacuum valve in engine bay. Located left hand side, pipe coming up from carb manifold, on rubber "t" piece. Make sure you can only blow through it one way. It creates the vacuum for servo...

We found that LPG wasn't as common as we thought, but we managed ok. it was a case of looking at every station you passed to ...

Your question..What if the engine stalls and is then left with the ign on but not running, does that valve allow a little bit of gas to be constantly emitted ?
