Evening everyone, I've just fitted a second hand GMS lpg kit to my
2.25 series 3 Land Rover, and its running fine on gas, but with the
mixer in place will not run under load on petrol unless the chokes
pulled right out, any ideas? does any one have any  pdf instructions
for this make? thanks Patrick

Just a thought, float chamber not full? When you switch to petrol what
restores the fuel flow, if at all?

Hello GbH engine runs fine at a stand still at all revs just under
load it wont run correctly . have hand pumped petrol to make certain
float is full. with mixer out it runs fine.

If the problem is only under load when there is a higher demand for fuel
and the jets ( float and main carb) are squeaky clean I would suspect a
wee tear in the carb piston skirt allowing air to bleed in and lean out the
mixture always worth checking as it costs nowt.
OTO I had a Hunter behaving like that but in that case it was a leaky
mechanical fuel pump it ran beautifully below 35mph soon as the demand for
fuel ( hill loud pedal etc) went up it bled air in through a porous membrane
and emptied the float chamber - the bugger was as an auto the engine cut out
but kept turning and as the car slowed the float chamber filled

Hi Derek, problems just started since lpg fitting though. it has to be
related to that. Patrick

Did you alter the timing for the gas?
