The driver today heard a "pop-pop-BANG". the engine will no longer fire. after some troubleshooting I assume it is a fuel delivery problem. I would need some basic info on how to troubleshoot between the LP tank and the fuel/air mixer.

here is what I have so far:
motor turns
New plugs/Wires
New distributor/rotor
Ignition provides spark to each plug
new IMPCO diaphragm
compression:
-cylinder 1) 70psi
-cylinder 2) 125psi
-cylinder 3) 142psi
-cylinder 4) 90psi
-fuses good

now going to attempt to figure out the following fuel system:
LPG cylinder
adaptor through chassis
12V fuel light switch?
(regulator?) with vacuum line
into (vaporizer?) with coolant hoses
into 12v shut off switch
into mixer-throttle body (vacuum line)

I took the main fuel line off just before the shutoff switch and turned over the engine with no fuel present.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
