Troubleshooting - LPG Systems
If engine troubles are experienced that appear to be
caused by the carburetor, check the following areas
before adjusting the carburetor.
•
Make sure the air cleaner element is clean and all
air cleaner components are fastened securely.
This is especially critical on propane-fueled
engines.
•
Check for a loose or kinked vacuum line, causing
regulator not to open.
•
Check to make sure the fuel valve on the LPG
tank is fully opened.
•
Check gauge on LPG tank to make sure there is
sufficient fuel present.
If, after checking the items listed above, adjust or
service the carburetor as follows.
