We picked up this lift about 6 months ago, had a new model J regulator and CA100 mixer I put on, it would start and idle okay, but it smelled very rich but needed choked to run anything over idle, if you didn't choke it and gave it throttle it would just fall on its face and die. Even running choked the engine didn't have much power, it is a f245 continental. since then it has new LP hoses and I installed another mixer and a newer cobra regulator/vaporizer. as well as a new lock off valve and new propane tank. Still smells rich but needs choked to run anything over idle, even at idle it helps to have the intake almost completely covered. I did set the valves, checked compression, all the holes were 110-135. valves all moving. Any help would be appreciated.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
