Good luck. If you have a diy install - they will not want to know about it.

post up the problem here.

i bought a second 60 series that had a lpg system fitted and i removed it and fitted it to mine

it was working on the other cruiser but had not been run for a while (unsure of how long)now i originally could not get it to idle but i could rev it fine, i then adjusted the idle and it idled fine but when i drive it it gets to around 3000revs and just wont go any further starts jumping like its starved for fuel, drove it for a day and all day the idle changed got faster so i adjustded it down lower then it started getting lower and stalling eventually it just stopped and no matter what i did i could not get it to run or idle just wont work

im assuming its the mixer as the solenoid you can hear turn on and its wired up correct, everything the same as when taken off the other cruiser

should i just buy a new mixer and fit it myself

whats a new one worth

any help would be great, thanks

first thing - pull the hose that goes from the converter to the mixer off at the mixer end. Then smell it ( it will smell funny - gas poo stink smell, - don't confuse this smell with actual gas)

now turn on the ignition.... now smell the end of the hose, are you getting gas?

if so - mixture is way out , if not you may have an electrical problem (unlikely as it was working before)

also make sure you aren't getting petrol to your carb as well, pull the fuel line off at the carb and give the mtr a quick turn over - petrol comming out is a bad thing. (double check you are switched to gas first)

make sure the petrol return line has a one way valve in it too

woops i meant converter

it doesnt have a mixer it just attaches to the air tube above the carby

how much is a converter roughly, i will check to see if gas is coming out tomorrow

thanks for the replys anyone else have any info for me

there is no petrol getting to the carb i have fitted a manual valve in the fuel line and i did run it out of fuel from the bowl before i tried to run it on gas so deffinately has not got fuel in there

Old school landy type converters, afaik - are around $130.oo. (new)
rebuild kits are cheap - these units are pretty basic and easy to rebuild.
I dont think its common for these type of units to fail dead (as in - no go), also - as you dont have idle gas, i'd be looking else where, as the idle gas circuit is kind of bullet proof - straight from the gas feed via a metering needle to the carb line. nothing to go wrong. (other than the solonoids)
