My Cleveland is running lean at idle on LPG and the conv has 2 brass
adjustement screws. One is small the other mounted directly below it is
larger with a spring under its head. Both are hex.
Does anyone know which screw does what? I have an exhaust gas analyser and
would like to richen it. Its currently running 9:1 and misses ay idle.

thanx,...Jason

Mines got nothing there.

I just found its *highly* illegal (meaning big fines) to adjust
LPG,........ohh well,..I do have an EGA. (Vane jobbie)

BTW its running 17:1 or 3 ratios high of stoichometric (sp)

From memory, Noddy actually gave instructions on adjusting the unit on
an empty stretch of road, seacrh back and you should find it...

Also I did a search on ther model number on my convertor and there was
a british site where some guy posted adjustment technique.

Both are rough, I guess you need an oxy sensor to get it sweet. If I
find them, I'll post.
