Can you use starting fluid to start a propane engine?
When I’ve run into this, I use ether starting fluid – just a quick squirt always worked. The intake valves can get burned over time in a propane engine, and that reduces the engine intake vacuum when you’re trying to start it. The reduced vacuum doesn’t open the propane regulator, so it can’t start.
How does a propane carburetor work?
The existing carburetor on the engine must be modified to deliver propane into the combustion chamber. It sound simple, and it really is. Basically, instead of delivering vaporized gasoline as the engine sucks in the air/fuel mixture during the “intake” cycle, the carburator delivers a propane/air mixture.
What should I do if my propane engine won’t start?
Engine should run on either for a few seconds at least. If your ignition timing is correct, engine should fire. If engine won’t start or even try to start, then your ignition system needs to be gone over. Customers love technology- until they have to pay to fix it!

How many turns does a propane engine take?
It has to be tested 1 turn at a time in each direction. Typically for Propane it will be 5-7 full turns out. Some engines may take more turns or less turns but 5-7 is a base starting point. Please do not be afraid of tweaking this adjustment to find the “sweet spot” where the engine performs the best.
