This truck on the later trucks were getting into emissions the lpg system had a Asian lpg converter after a while the converter would gum up and when cold would stall or hard to start you probably need to replace it or rebuild it.as for the surge there is a step up value on the side of the carb that steps up the idel when you lift a load or turn the steering wheel to help so the motor does not stall out might need to adjust it hope l was of help.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
