209 continental engine on propane

Hi everyone been a while .. rebuilding a 209 continental industrial engine converted to propane and was wondering about the heat riser settings in the exhaust manifold ( typical old 2 piece that bolts together ) should it be set differently than it was for gasoline. the casting simply says on --off ...

Re: ASME vs dot forklift tanks

If I was building a car like that I would use a LP tank from a motor home or the like they are legal for road use ( In Canada they never need to be re certified ) and I'm sure you could pull up to a propane store and have them fill the tank with the machine sitting on a trailer , there are a few dif...

Re: Hillclimb car

Why in the world would anyone want to use something like a forklift cylinder ?? there are many things that could be used instead .. anyone could say use something for propane cylinder but would not necessarily mean it is legal . bringlight1 PM me . have a good one

Re: Blow through turbo Snowmobile

Yea I run the dragon with an ADJUSTABLE switch on the throttle at the mixer to give him a little extra at close to wot . It actually works as a cold start also all I do is turn ignition on and open throttle full for a couple of seconds that will prime you up , let it sit with the throttle open for 3...

Re: Al-gas 60 mixer ,, c-250a reg.

Yea he's a strange little dude .. very sensitive mixer .. Trevor found the kit actually 2 kits for the mixer and reg but have no idea where he dug it up from .. But the kit never came with any literature either . I guess it's not real important but it would be nice to know what kinda fish that is .

Re: Al-gas 60 mixer ,, c-250a reg.

Yup .. the one I talk about is bottom center ,, the thumb adjuster is left and up it actually has a bolt head with a slot for a screw driver .. the bottom brass one is very sensitive and demands a slow adjustment Maybe 1/6 of a turn from run to no run either way .. to make the engine run again I tur...

Al-gas 60 mixer ,, c-250a reg.

The old forklift with the al=gas 60 mixer and the c-250a fuel system has been giving me some problems .. mostly stalling and hard starting .. took the reg. apart and checked things everything seemed fine .. found the brass slot adjuster on the bottom of the mixer gave it a small bit of a turn and it...

Re: Vapor hose ?

Yes I went to the web page after some info from storm , and me thinks I will try it , .. I actually dont see them making a hose that would not be compatible seeing as most of the reg's seem to need coolant running through them , Been looking around and cant find anywhere of someone changing vapor ho...

Vapor hose ?

When I purchased my Impco products for my bike from Calgary The fellow I dealt with Trevor I believe was his name had the good thoughts to include a good amount of the 1 " RIBBED VAPOR hose ( I suppose not knowing how far I was running it ) Now on my Honda Gold-wing GL1200 the upper and lower rad ho...
