C500Y60 Fuel issue

We picked up this lift about 6 months ago, had a new model J regulator and CA100 mixer I put on, it would start and idle okay, but it smelled very rich but needed choked to run anything over idle, if you didn't choke it and gave it throttle it would just fall on its face and die. Even running choked the engine didn't have much power, it is a f245 continental. since then it has new LP hoses and I installed another mixer and a newer cobra regulator/vaporizer. as well as a new lock off valve and new propane tank. Still smells rich but needs choked to run anything over idle, even at idle it helps to have the intake almost completely covered. I did set the valves, checked compression, all the holes were 110-135. valves all moving. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to check the valve adjustment. The continental was touchy with a Impco system. Impco depends on good vacuum draw from the engine to regulate fuel.

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.
