Ok I am a car mechanic and new to the LP fuel system. Motor would crank but not start and now after many many hours I have removed the top of the carb and diaphram. the throttle plate was completey closed and the electronic throttle would not make it open. I put a screw driver in the carb to prop open the plate and shot a little starting fluid down it and it fired right up. Any ideas???
