has anyone come across this fault before ?
the unit will run fine for two to five minutes then the power to the lpg lockoff valve drops out and the charge light flashes. wait a few minutes and it will start up and drive as normal. even when the power to the valve drops out the engine still has spark and if you bypass the valve it will run but at 1/2 speed and charge light flashing.
thank you

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
