I liked that you used that type of Fuel line.
My stock 1.3 carb was a pos wouldn’t idle good, took forever to start, and sputtered a lot. I put a certified machine carb kit on it and it runs great! It doesn’t die on high angles either, didn’t even have to tune it.
I know a person that had about three cars with those conversions and now as high as gas is going I would like to learn more.
nice shirt!
You will have problems with altiduth heght diferences propane does not make it bether unless you actualy use high amplifier ignition system ore plasma ignition nothing ells will help that car have same problems even tought me engine is opel but still same 80s problems cars .
You need magnet alternator to run engine at low speed you need to modify flywheel and starter motor .
Propane shuld have pre warmer in winter time you will have problems with propane .
Your in deap shit if your engine use's ground ignition ore waste spark .
Propane ore any other lpg based fuel can explode so make shure that your engine is secured properly with insulation ore magnetic shilding.
Lot of those cars blew up because of safty meshures .
You probably know thats metal coffin peopel know those cars mostly because of death rate they are light weight .
Mostly I have same problems even tought I live in high moisture cold conditions so thats where propane will fail .
Did got propane go out of business,, and hey won’t answer email
I have the got propane kit on my 1981 Toyota,,works flawlessly
1 question,I have had it on there for about a year and a half,,the solenoid for the gas turn off gets hot,
Is it supposed to get hot
And that is with it open,,
Liquid propane going to vaporizer or just vapor?
Was looking at the comments and didn’t find a awnser… but how long will a tank of propane last? I’m debating on doing it but I’ll only be able to have room for one tank because I have a single bucket seat for my daughter to ride
How much is a conversion kit to propane? Thanks
Yep, the Weber sucks for off-road. That weber was designed for "performance" street a long time ago with no consideration made for off-road. Problem is the way the float is setup. It starts overflowing raw fuel into the engine when you start climbing. The stock Sammi carb was better for off-roading. I installed the 1.6 fuel injected engine to solve all of these problems.
