I just had another look at this LPG mower and why the new carby wouldn't work well on LPG.

I didn't spend much time on it fixing the problem ,just drilled the gas fitting out a couple sizes larger and put an angled edge
on the brass inside of the carby also I had to change the throttle shaft as before I hadn't noticed where the carby
linkage fits in is slightly different on the gas carby as it was for horizontal shaft motor and I'm using the vertical shaft motor.

One extra thing I did was install a plastic fuel tap on the petrol fuel line.

Turned the bottle on and it ran well but had to adjust the lpg down so the fitting most likely is drawing LPG better now.

It ran well on petrol too, no problems on either fuel.

Instead of using the alloy fuel bowl, I've installed a metal one.

Cheers
Max.

Large, ungainly and green.

Both have the base plates attached to act as the mandatory flywheels, however, no blades are fitted.

Honestly, a week before leaving on a 6 week European/Great Britain Cruise I purchased a Victa Rear Catcher ride on, it was due for its first service before we even got back. There was no way I was going to tackle these lawns with a hand mower days after returning from a magnificent holiday.

The Impco small engine lpg kit will fit a mower https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOW-PROPAN...303445-309447-294447-303447/181190873896

You can buy a LPG carby from LEHR that's lpg only.



The only problem with my mower is I have no governor so I just adjust the throttle with the rpm at 3300 and cut
the grass but if the grass if really high the rpm drops a fair amount ,I was thinking of going to 8 hp or just
fitting a SU type of carby with a vacuum controlled slide .I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to make a vacuum controlled
fuel enrichment system so when vacuum drops a little extra lpg will supply the engine.

Cheers
Max.

It completely explains what I did and why I did it.

A less enlightened person would say, 'If you wanted a ZTR, why didn't you just buy one' which completely misses the point!

That one goes on the office wall tomorrow!
