I have just had LPG installed and I am in the process of getting it tuned. What setup have you got?

I've got a SprintGas system that gives a shot of gas when you go to ign, I'm quite surprised how well it starts and runs cold.

If it worked before then there's got to be a difference in the carby setup somehow, and the only one I think could effect the gas is the throttle plate position. Does it show signs of starting? maybe just crack the throttle a touch when starting?

I know they don't like trying to run on petrol and gas at the same time, is there any chance that there's some petrol in the carby when you're trying to start it on gas?
