Hi all, i know i know again with the gas..sorry
There are 2x adjustments on the gas mixer... 1 is a square 'knob' looking thing that obviously adjusts how much gas is used per air unit? is this correct?
And the other 1? I think it has something to do with air adjustment...?
Could someone please explain?
Also would 'more' air give you better economy or 'less' air in relation to the second screw adjustment?
People have mentioned a bolt that you can remove on the converter and when removed black goo poors out...?
I found a bolt on the side of mixer that looked as though it was just 'pluggin' the whole... Would this be it?? I removed it and nothing came out, so just put it straight back in...

if its a ipmco mixer the larger adjuster that would take a spanner to adjust is your high speed adjustment and the spaller screw driver one witha spring under it is the idle and out in leaner and in richer .

Leave them alone. If you want it adjusted/checked, get your local LPG place to connect your vehicle up to an analyser and do it properly.

Be very carefull doing manual adjustments on LPG. Had a mate a few years back that leaned his gas system out to increase milage and imploded the motor. If you want to know what the adjustments do, take it to Gas tuner and ask him after he has set them correctly.
