I agree with converting to LP- easier starting w/out choking & better on engine too. If you find a carb problem w/ your gas carb & need a replacement I'd bet retrofitting LP would be less costly also

Customers love technology- until they have to pay to fix it!
If it's on gasoline, are you using a choke to help start and bring up to operating temps?

I know this is an older post but I'll still put this out.
New gas (ethanol) really doesn't like carbs. And in all honesty you'd be better off converting truck to run off of LP. and not worry about cold starting issues and needing to choke first thing in am.
