good day fellas
having a bit of a problem with the gas sytem on a tb42. Runs fine on petrol as soon as you flick it to gas will just idle and as soon as you hit the pedal it dies (yes its a full tank
).

Can you give us a bit more detail? What brand and model of gas system? Fuel injection?

had the same thing happen to mine after getting extractors fitted, turns out they forgot to re-attach a vaccum hose to the mixer shutting it off.
maybe check these hoses for splits as well!!!

as far as i can tell its a sprint gas setup and is a carby.
now very wierd thing happened this arvo, have been driving around all week on petrol
(as the gas just doesnt want to work) and hasnt missed a beat.
had a play around this arvo and one vacuum line was split at the end so trimmed it back and reattached, rechecked and placed all the hoses again and moved a few wires to make sure they weren't touching or earthing out.
now the car will not even start on petrol, but runs perfect again on gas
wtf
any help guys

been playin around for a while and cannot get it to start on petrol, yet gas will start and run but is revvin really low and will die on the odd occasion drivin around. anybody got an answer for this, or best to take it down to a gas mechanic.
cheers
