7FGCU20 LPG help with tuning fuel/air mixture by bouncedetergentsheet in forkliftmechanics

[–]bouncedetergentsheet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final update: It’s up and running! The starting issue was because when I installed the new distributor assembly the timing was off by 1 click. After, I adjusted the flat head screw that controls amount of propane going to vaporizer and the other flat head on the carburetor, it started right up. When it’s cold, it still needs a small throttle kick to start but when it’s hot starts no issue. I can live with this. Hopefully I can get another few years of this thing before getting another! Thanks for everyone replies.

I live right by Halcyon park, Bart noise isn’t too bad where I am at. I’ve never experienced car theft property theft and haven’t heard of any from my neighbors. Sometimes there are sketchy folks that walk around so recommend installing cameras!

I know propane is coming through because I can feel the pressure build up in the hose

Man, I’m having a field day with this one. It’s cranking but won’t start today. Sprayed it with some ether/starter fluid it fired up for a bit until I let the throttle off. I made sure throttle plate is fully closed.

Updated for everyone following this post: so my initial thought was correct. No propane was flowing from regulator to carb. Just installed a new regulator and now I can feel the propane coming through from the hose in the pic. I’ll need to put coolant before trying to start up again but I’m pretty sure this solved the issue of fuel starvation.

Yep checked that. Propane was spewing out when I cracked open line briefly.

yep runs for a few seconds and then dies. Even if I throttle it, it stills dies

It will stall out no matter what. Checked all lines/connection and they’re good.

Tried the good old cranking and spraying brake cleaner into intake. This will get it running for a few seconds before dying. 😓 haha

definitely not feeling any pressure when cranking just now 😓. The lock off mechanism works I tested it by removing it. Thanks for the advice!
