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

thank-you for that Randy , as I mentioned in the mail that I always thought the SV needed to be under the throttle plates . that is why the confusion .. Now one more question for both of you .. Will I need to do more work on the mixer as far as mods go besides the fitting in the inlet that we have d...

Re: Price of propane

We produce our own also but it makes no difference , the darn stuff comes from right below our feet but of course they would much sooner sell to the USA because of their crisis for twice the going rate because they are a greedy bunch of SOB's. One would think anyone's mother land would support it's ...

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

Also do you know where I can buy one of these or something that does the same jo...

Price of propane

The price of propane in the last 9 days has went from 1.09 per LB. to 1.90 per pound at the local fuel bar . the little bit I will require to run the bike is minimal but it sure stinks for anyone that has a propane DD vehicle . just wondering if other areas are also dealing with the big gouge .

Re: Model 200 mixer Holley throttle body

Ok I got ya ,, I guess if nothing else the groove is a good way to make sure people get the holes centered on the arm . I know where the cable needs to be attached to achieve full throttle plate movement . Had the ball and socket set up on before propane change . The arm is made so nice I thought th...

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

I'm guessing that the guys in Aus used hyd. couplers for the quick change , they can take pressures in excess of 5000 lbs. if in good condition do not leak and with some models the couplers can be disconnected under pressure and reconnected under pressure with no fluid loss ( and still have a better...
