    Did you not read his question? It's LPG, the injectors no longer operate.

    IMO, the best system to get is liquid gas injection, but it's expensive to set up. LPG doesn't use a conventional carby, so there is no "best" carby to get. The largest possible throttle body and winding up the volume of LPG is your best bet. Having a dedicated tune will get the best result though, LPG doesn't require a timing curve like petrol, the timing advances up to about 2500rpm, but after that it is a flat line. Look at getting a memcal done by nicefrog on Ebay, (used to be Greenfoam on here).

    I would talk to Gas Research, they do twin LPG carbs that work very well. Or you can go to a four barrell throttle body fed by the converter.

    At full throttle maybe, but there is a lot you can do to make it run nice at part throttle. This is a pic of the gas curve I have.
