Welcome to the forum, it's always nice to post an introduction before asking questions - no harm done.

First thing to do is get the fuel pressure checked, if that is OK I would suspect injectors have gummed up from not being used. Also check for air leaks between the airflow meter and the engine, gas engines have a habit of backfiring through the inlet which can damage this ducting.

When i converted it from gas to petrol i had a new long range tank put in and 3 weeks after that i had it serviced , they said to do it that way to allow time to pick up all the gunk out the new tank.
