what to do?

I find (once set up properly) the engine runs much smoother on LPG, the higher octane rating I guess.

One of the issues with LPG is idealy the spark plugs and timing should be different, so on an LPG + petrol setup its a case of best compromise.
A friend usually runs his carb v8 on LPG all the time and it starts well enough, even if it does take a little more cranking. His petrol tank though is only 8 litres :lol: so running it just on petrol is a pain.
There are various ways of plumbing LPG. The cheapest/easiest is single point with a vaporiser, a multi point injection should be better, but new are around the ££££ mark.

took the new rrc out for a drive today was all seems ok. only things i noticed are, when you change gear or pull away there seems to be a lot of slack in the back end, i am guessing its the prop or diff, whats the easiest way of testing to find out whats a bit worn? only other thing it seems to be spluttering at low revs and it needs a few revs to get it going like around 2000rpm also it doesn't like driving at anything less that about 2000rpm ( this is all on petrol) it hasn't been driven for a few weeks and its done 15000 miles, is this normal or does it just need a good thrashing and some tweaking?
Cheers,
Nick
