Hi all,
Not Holden related this time but my 1983 2F motored Landcruiser has a really odd gas fault. It has a known good convertor, new tank but it seems to just not be getting any gas. The solenoids click when the key is turned on and the primer' switch flicked but as I said no gas. Yes I checked the bottle is turned on, yes it is nearly full and the convertor gets warm when the engine is going!! All I can think of is that the safety switch is playing up, but hoping others out there might have some ideas?? Thanks in advance.

OK I've replaced the safety switch and now I get the solenoids clicking as normal again and the car will start and run on gas but no matter where I set the settings on the converter and on the 'in line' adjuster on the line to the carb I can't get the eng |

As cloudy said it could be dual fueling. That is that the petrol solenoid is actually leaking a bit of petrol causing a too rich mix. Another problem Ive had is with the gas solenoid. It was clicking but was sticking internally and therefore not let

Was the gas fitted on the toyo when you got it? One of the biggest faults I have come accross with duel fuel is the cap on the carby should have a choke type cable attached to it, this opens and shuts the diaphram when you switch from gas to petrol. If th |

Have you checked that you have full water flow through your convertor, even though it warm the opening could be icing up a little on the inside. Friend had this prob on a Patrol, ran rough despite how many times it was tuned.
