GAS-GASOLINE CONVERSION
The combination gas-gasoline carburetor can be
switched to gasoline operation by the following
procedure:
1. Close the manual fuel shutoff valve in supply line
for natural gas or propane-butane vapor, wher-
ever located.
2. Open the gasoline fuel shutoff valve, wherever
located.
3. Set the spark plug gap as given in the SPECIFI-
CATIONS section.
4. See that the choke is free and works easily (app-
lies to electric choke only).
5. Start the unit. If it runs unevenly under load due to
faulty carburetor adjustment, the main jet needs
adjusting. This is not the same main adjusting
screw used for gaseous fuel. Another adjusting
screw is provided for this purpose (refer to
ADJUSTMENTS section).
To change back to natural or propane-butane operation,
reverse the above procedure and reset the spark plug gap.
