[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 118219, member: 3333"] Don’t know about the propane side of things but I do know that the points and condenser setup on these engines is extremely fussy. You have to set the points exactly and they have to be clean or you’ll have all kinds of grief with them. Lots of guys including myself have ditched the points and condenser in these units in favour of a solid state ignition, I myself went with a Pertronix system, the only regret I have is that I disn’t do it sooner! Point gap should be set to 0.025” or 0.64mm and initial timing is 12 degrees BTDC. Also check your valve lash, intake should be 0.008 to 0.010” cold, exhaust 0.018 to 0.020” cold. Also make sure you have a nice fat blue spark, that makes the engine much easier to start. If you can, replace the condenser, I’ve seen many go bad that look brand new. We even stocked 2 spares at all times before switching over to solid state. [/QUOTE]
