Working on a scissor lift with a propane engine. Actually dual fuel but I am not messing with the gasoline side right now.
The engine idles fine and will take high idle but sometimes stumbles hard trying to bring up the rpm but I can tickle it and get it up there. However, under load, the engine wants to bog and seems to be lacking power.
Some of the propane stuff has been bastardized to use the small 20lb bottles. There appears to be a couple regs, then a safety solenoid valve, then to the Garretson regulator. The fuel line off the Garretson is about 4-5ft long and is 5/8" heat hose.... Seems a little ridiculous and I am sort of wondering if this large line damps the vacuum required to operate the valving?
Or maybe I have something that needs cleaned and tuned?
