   propane/natuural gas on generator   
   21 Nov 15 01:57:11   
   
   I have a 7200/9000 watt Champion generator with a US Carb motor   
   snorkel conversion that is not putting out anywhere near full power   
   and is tricky to start. I suspect the pikot ajustment? is not correct   
   (the spring adjustment screw under the plug above the fuel inlet on   
   the Century zero regulator unit.   
   Anyone know the best way to determine the proper adjustment? I know   
   they are VERY fussy and turning the screw in makes it go lean. (more   
   intake vacuum required to open the valve)   
      
    I was getting 4500-5300 watts out of the 7200 watt unit, which is low   
   ( should get 6400-6500 watts)
