This is a 7FGCU30 with a little over 30,000 hrs. When it is warmed up it starts and idles fine. When it is cold there is only one way to start it. I disconnect the LP line from the tank, evacuate the fuel from the system, and reconnect the line to the tank. Then I spray some carb cleaner in the mixer. Then, with my foot on the accelerator pedal, I spin it over and it will start. Before it dies I will open the valve on the LP tank. It will remain running as long as I keep my foot on the pedal. Once it has warmed up I can take my foot off the pedal and it will idle on its own. If I take my foot off too soon it will die and I have to repeat this process. Any ideas if this is in the mixer or in the regulator. TIA

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
