[QUOTE="ChrisStewart, post: 1504067, member: 17711"] just got done with propane... like everyone said it smells like a forklift. Buy a wideband a/f gauge, not a narrowband. Main thing is not to guess on your mixture, and make sure you have no vacuum leaks. Get your timing dialed, before you mess with your mixture, you want your initial and centrifical all in by 2500 rpms. It will vary between motors, so that 14-14-14 you see on the net doesn't really help. Get colder plugs, and unless you are running an HEI close your gap. You will probably have to recurve your distributor. It takes time to tune... Mine runs really well, makes a lot of power and is stupid simple.(Now) Hope this helps. Visit the alternative fuel forums...the Austrailians, and New Zeland folks have the stuff dialed. I too was worried about fuel consumption, through the tuning process i burned propane like crazy, but the 1st time out on the road and snow wheeling I went through 3.75 gallons. [/QUOTE]
