Re: Propane conversion on Dragons' Breath Mazda 13b engine
if your stuck i can buy one here for you and slip it in the mail on the 200 ( if like the 225 ) there should be several blind screws on the corner edges of the mixer body that can be removed and replaced with the 1/8 nipples to provide vac points for the SV, and for power valve and or for the feedba...

Re: Propane conversion on Dragons' Breath Mazda 13b engine
i think the point is that the electric lockoff valve itself ,, normally mounted to the inlet of the model E reg,, can instead be put at the tank end,, cause your liquid line is very short in other installs on cars and trucks then the line length means much more fuel in it , so has the excess flow lo...

Re: Propane on a motorcycle
thats a good point ,, i think maybe it has star washers,, but myself doubt they are worth gambling on,, and must be bad for airflow a combination of thread sealant and star washer might be Ok,, it is a bit subjective from here through maybe you can replace and countersink and wire pin the excess thr...

Re: Propane conversion on Dragons' Breath Mazda 13b engine

Re: Propane conversion on Dragons' Breath Mazda 13b engine
PS,, safety first,, please do the initial pressure ups not in an enclosed space
( i know its cold where you are but its not a clever idea to do leak tests under the house )
keep us up to date with whats going on and we can lead you through the plumbing and the safety interlock wire-ups

Re: Propane on a motorcycle
be aware some small motor and scooter tanks may be configured for vapour uptake,, and are not suitable unless the fittings can be exchanged for auto capacity liquid pickups ( and filler and lockoffs ) and are designed mostly to fit in a helmet carry case im thinking this tank wants to mount in the s...

Re: What Size Impco Carb?
yes keep your TB if it simplifies the install... the 200 and 225 do not come with throttle assembly you add them to stock TB or use the impco throttle body,, also 200 and 225 can be supplied as "FB" designation .. to be used with the CDP-02 controller ( which uses a deliberately over rich gas/air va...
