enlightened us thusly:

I installed an LPG kit in a citroen AX (well I actually took a lot of the
components
from my previous car which expired). The citroen has a carb and I have tuned
the vapouriser and flow value with an exhaust gas analyser.

The car starts and runs fine from warm. I notice the engine needs a few more
revolutions to start than petrol. However from cold the engine shows no
willingness
to start on lpg. I have increased the time that lpg is supplied to the
engine when starting
and this allows it to burst into life a little then it dies.

Since the car has a mechanical petrol fuel pump it can take a long time
cranking
to get it to fire if I forget to switch back to petrol before the last run
of the day.

Any advice here or should I just stick to finishing on petrol for the night?


what figures did you tune the LPG to? Mixture is fairly critical. If it's
too lean, it'll not start readily from cold, if too rich, it'll "flood".
get it right, it should work... You may need to play with vapouriser idel
settings, depending on what yer vapouriser is.
