Mazda engine rough start

Mazda LPG Engine starts rough and idle goes up and down for about a minute. We thought the reason was dirty AISAN regulator so changed repair kit, fuel filter and clean LPG bottle pre-filter. But the problem stayed. Even when the engine is warm starts rough.

sometimes trying to repair these is difficult to 'get it right the first time', it's generally quicker and less time involving to just get a new one or reman one if available and swap it out.

Basically, problem with engine goes idle was solved after we cleaned carburetor. But engine still starts very bad. We found that the problem is he gets too much fuel. There is a main hose from a regulator to the carburetor. When we are taking this hose off during the engine starts we are reducing the amount of fuel and the engine starts properly. So my question is how can I reduce fuel flow. This AISAN type C regulator seems doesn't have a manual regulation. The lock-off valve seems works fine.

Check your fuel shut off solenoid- I would bet it's gummed up. Installing a coolant thermostat in line with the regulator works wonders

I get the same code on an H60FTM. It is normally hard to start. Have to crank it for about 10 seconds before it will fire. Then it runs well. If I give it a shot of ether it will start much faster. Did you try ether? The operator tells me it just dies out sometimes but I haven't seen that happen, yet. Would help if I knew a bit more about the theory of the system.

plenty of things can cause this
edwards suggestion is certainly a problem to check

also you might want to:
look for vacuum leaks
check the ignition system
check the engine sensors
check your grounds
check the connections at the ECM

but first and foremost are there any DTC's showing up on the display?

as far as the "Searching" for engine speed, you may need to pop the clips off the plastic side of the throttle body, use compressed air (and a dust-mask for you) and blow out the accumulated dust from the corners of the throttle body.
