Why is there much difficulties in starting generator converted to LPG carburetor? Like it takes too much time to start and it may not even start at all 1 Like |

Heasykenny: It does not. I have been using the LPG carburetor for a week now, I only had that problem the first time I used it. I used my experience with petrol to correctly diagnose the problem. The problem is over floating, you are flooding the engine with too much gas. Press the button on the lpg carburetor two or three times then start the engine. If it does not start then push it one more time. If still it dies not start then shut the gas valve and pull the cable a few times to start the generator, that should get rid of excess gas. It will start or attempt to start. Then open the gas valve and pull once more. It should start. 4 Likes |

Cold start is due to the type of carburetor you purchase Heasykenny: |

Heasykenny: This is the part that need more clarification, when the generator doesn't start normally like it should. More clarification is needed on this please, just in case anyone has a different view from the above explanation. I also learnt from a technician who does generator conversion that it makes the generator not to make so much noise. My thought was that if my generation have to sound lower than it should, it may mean it's working below capacity. 1 Like |

wirinet: Pls is it still worthwhile to convert to LPG since LPG is now selling for #1,200/kg? |
Re: I Converted My Generator to LPG And Tested The Fuel Consumption/Cost by wirinet(m): 4:49pm On Nov 08, 2023 |
Heyzee5:It is not, at N1200/kg of LPG you will be filling up a 12.5kg cylinder with N15,000. I switched when it was N650/kg. Then it was worth it. I have since switched to solar to run my business. There have been total blackout for the past 2 days, my solar set up came to my rescue. It is expected to break even in 18 months when compared to running on gas/petrol at current rate. 1 Like |

joinnow: Hi ive fone deep research on this and its viability for biogas..the adapter has a switch where you can change between lpg,cng and petrol.. However if you are using biogas you must scrub the gas of both moisture and other imperfections so that it won't wreck the engine fast Looking forward to presenting my gen run in biogas later |
