    Cold weather hiccups

    Hey Guys,

    Vehicle: RB30, dual fuel, stock carby

    Problem: Drives like an absolute bastard on moist days(foggy, cold days etc). Very difficult to start on
    LPG or won't start at all.

    It's even difficult to start the engine as well. Drives like an absolute bastard on LPG on moist weather, backfires a fair bit, even after the engine is fully warmed up. It's not that great with petrol either, even though it's slighter 'easier' to start on petrol.

    There is a fair bit of white smoke on idling(particularly on moist/wet/foggy/cold days), even after the vehicle is fully warmed up.

    I have two 'theories'.

    1)Some earth/electrical issue that gets amplified during wet/moist weather
    2)Carby is stuffed & need some heavy work on it or replacement
    3)LPG converter/mixer/cut off solenoid switch/filter faulty(issue is not just on LPG though)
    4)TBA

    Any other ideas, leads guys?

    Thanx
    Dom
