Propane stalling????

Nuts · 10-31-2010, 06:07 PM

What would cause a propane powered rig to stall? There was a hill this weekend with step that you had to bounce pretty hard to get past and everytime I landed the buggy would die. It would start up again with no trouble, but I never made it up that stupid little hill. The tank was 3/4 or more full and besides this it runs good.

There is alot of possibility's there did you peice the system yer self??? check yer solenoid and wiring, thats what it sounds like to me

The entire system came off a county service truck so its all meant to be together. I have the vaporizer/regulator mounted verticaly and most others I've seen are mounted laying down,does it matter how its mounted?

that shouldnt matter no.....im sure its all solidly mounted... my system is fed off of a soleniod style valve i had a problem simulur to yers in the past and it was my ground wire. dont know how yer set up is though

I'm guessing that Jason was onto something when he talked about electrical... it sounds to me like it could be the IGN wire loosing connection just for a split second...

Just doesn't sound like fuel to me... especially not Propane...

My $.02

Mine were mounted vertically on the firewall, so i doubt that's yer issue. Do you have a vacuum actuated lockoff or electrical?

Electric lock off, and looked at all the conectors lastnight and they all seemed good...

I'd say your lockoff is the issue... i can't put my finger on what else it could be.
