    She's runing rich

    Hi All,
    Have just brought a 83 rrc carbie it was serviced on friday it runs good but on saturday I found that theres quite alot of smoke coming out of the exhaust I rang the machanics and asked them what could be the problem they told me that they had to make it run rich as it runs on lpg and petrol is this correct??
    When im sitting at the lights I can see it blow past
    Any help would be Great

    Loada rubbish! Find another mechanic, quick. There's no good reason to run rich if you fit the correct spark plugs for LPG and adjust the timing for a bit more advance ( to 8 - 10 degrees BTDC). I suggest to get some Bosch WR7DC+ spark plugs, or NGK BPR6Es if you prefer, and fit them after the replacement mechanic of choice readjusts the gas.

    G'day Maikolo

    I agree with Bee Utey have an 85 RRC carby on LPG and it runs lean, and starts on gas from cold,I use NGK BP6ES set at .030 thou,it is an older gas installation 1996 and so far there are no problems, Iwould go to another mech,or maybe somebody from this forum that is gas savvy could have a look for you

    cheers
