Hi Richard
Have a talk to my Bro's mate,Im sure he can help and he is in Rockingham.
Cant find his card.
Talk to Spencer
at Drive Safe Autogas in Rockingham.
Tell him you are good mates of Matt and Andy "The Landy Bro's"
He is a top operator.

Thanks Andrew, will do

I had the same problem on an EL Ford. When the leads were changed I think that solved the problem :? Or maybe he adjusted the timing too

Let us know how you go.

Andrew

Sounds like a timing/ ignition component problem, check all - cap, rotor button, pickup in dizzy, coil, amplifier, leads you have replaced so check them last. Also could be incorrect mixture, has your consumption changed recently ?

if its happening when you start in the morning then are you pumping the gas pedal as you start. If you are then try starting it with your foot of the pedal . this happens a lot with the eb fords. If not then get the timing checked.
Cheers Pete

Also majke sure that your injector o rings on the inlet manifold are not letting air in and that the injectors arn't leaking petrol into the manifild whilst your on LPG, as mine did recently causing the odd backfire as it was burning 2 fuels at the same time.
Advance your timing a few degrees on LPG as it will cope with it .
My disco has factory timing @2 deg BTDC , I run my lpg @8 Deg BTDC.
Some people run theirs up to 16 degs on LPG

Gee Richard Mine has just done this also but I found corrosion on my leads into the dist cap and one of my leads was not pushed onto the spark plug properly. I have replaced leads /plugs and cap and have repaired/adjusted my airflow meter (flapper) and had the co checked at discovery autos and it is all good.
It was running lean on pet before this happend so I have cured that problem as well.
Do u have an antibackfire valve of some sort?
I have read in many places that you leave the 2 clamps on the hose from the airflow meter to the plenhm loosish so that if u do have a backfire the hose blows off and hopefully save you from damagng the airflow meter.
It worked for me.
hope it gets fixed soon

Hi Brad,
Fortunately this is not the flapper type otherwiseI would have blown it apart.

Will replace the dissy cap and rotor on the weekend and maybe the coil.
I think that ultimately I will get a Haltec put on, when I put the Wolf on the 86 it cured it'.
