try 12 deg.
yeah more advance is good off the mark, but you lose top end.
duel fuel advance is a compromise between the 2 fuels.
lpg can go even higher adv, but petrol won't like it so under 15 deg is sorta best world.
if your running hot might pay to service cooling system.
plenty of threads on that.
but sounds like you had a win to me.
cheers
Well thought all was good till last week. Problem back but not as severe. Mostly has issues with start and idle at lights on both fuels. Drives OK when warm. last night in desperation to start I was squirting some startyabasterd down its throat and noticed it wasn't going down into the intake, looked down into the carby, omg, full of crap. Got a kit today but now I need instructions, my Haynes book doesn't have any. Sigh. Missing my old ranger at the moment.
Take photos of the carby - before you remove it from the truck - note where the vacuum hoses run
Take photos of the outside of the carby in particular the side whee the acc cable is - you need to note the position of the fast idle cam
Pull the carby apart over newspaper (there as some little ball bearings that may cause you grief)
Clean everything with carby cleaner
Dont use any sealant
No good. Engine now starts OK but won't idle properly. Too fast or too slow with little adjustment. Sigh. I'm sure its a choke issue and the deceleration unit is faulty too. Thinking of going dedicated gas and ditching the Carb for a throttle body. Or I'll just get a reco carby when I can afford it.
I have this exact same problem I was also told to put in a thermostat that runs a few degrees colder haven't tried it yet going to get a manual first.
It kind if makes sense to me since it doesn't happen till full operating temp.
Is it playing up on both fuels as the idle ise set on the converter with LPG
I take it you put the kit though the carby.
Is the fast idle cam in the correct position -
Have you gotten anywhere on this?.
I was reading through the manual and found you should change the condenser every time you put in new points is it possible that needs to be changed as well?
Replaced my leads and put in a extended rotor button has come up alot better no more carby backfires :).
Still a slight miss at idle now that its only at idle going to do the valves see how that goes.
