The backfiring happens when quickly accelerating or getting out of the throttle and this blows the air cleaner cover off. It only backfires like this a couple of times a day if at all. The lift only has 1700 hours on it and it's the only one of it's kind in our fleet. The factory first stated that it was an ignition problem but after I changed all that now they say it's our propane but I'm not having any issues with any of the other LP lifts. I was talking to a friend who is still doing field service and he said he's having the same problem with a vortec powered Daewoo. Coincidence?

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.
