Ours is old and has the dual fuel carb modified for lpg. It is a very simple system - two solenoids on the Impco, one for starting?? which feeds into the base of the carb with just a small pipe, and one for main supply which feeds to a mixer ring in the carb body. It has the good old-fashioned choke on the top of the carb. One thing I am not sure about is that there is a link pipe between these two feed with an adjustable valve in it - is this for idling and could it affect starting and running? Also not sure how the starting?? solenoid connected to the small pipe operates.

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.
