PROBLEM
Propane fuel smell
Poor performance or engine stalling
on propane
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Fuel regulator or fuel hose and fittings not
securely sealed.
Propane fuel regulator vent active.
Residual fuel from the carburetor dispersing after
operation.
Propane fuel line kinked or crushed.
Fuel selector valve not properly positioned.
Gasoline not purged from the carburetor before
switching to propane.
CORRECTION
Using a soap solution check each connection
and tighten as needed.
The propane fuel regulator is equipped with a
vent that will allow a small amount of propane
fuel vapor to escape from the regulator when
the propane tank valve is opened. This can be
normal providing the venting of the propane
is brief. If you suspect that this is abnormal,
immediately discontinue use and have the
propane regulator inspected by a qualified
technician.
Normal, no correction is needed.
Inspect propane fuel line and remove kinks or
other obstructions.
Rotate the fuel valve fully until the pointer is
directly in line with the desired fuel.
Close the propane fuel tank valve. Move the
fuel selector switch to gas. Start the engine
and allow the engine to run until the gasoline
has been consumed in the carburetor. Begin
propane start up procedure.
