Discussion:
Cranks, rarely starts

Hi all,

New to your forum, but not to heavy equipment. Currently working on a 10 year old 80 Fortis, with gm 4.3l v6. Machine cranks but rarely starts and runs. I have 40 psi of propane past the first regulator, and 0 psi past the new electronic pressure regulator. It seems like if I let propane out of the liquid hose, it has a better chance of running. First regulator gets cold. Not sure where to go from here. Any ideas?
