What should I do if my propane engine wont start?
If you are not using a tank regulator from USCarburetion make sure the regulator is low pressure (0.5 psi) if you have a low pressure kit and that it has a sufficient BTU rating. (10,000 Btu’s per hour per horsepower (ex. 10 hp = 100,000 BTU’s) 3.) Check that the pipe sizing is correct for your application.
What should I do if my generator won’t run?
Patsy613, if your genset hasn’t operated since last year, you may have several reasons/causes for it not operating now.

How many turns does a propane engine take?
It has to be tested 1 turn at a time in each direction. Typically for Propane it will be 5-7 full turns out. Some engines may take more turns or less turns but 5-7 is a base starting point. Please do not be afraid of tweaking this adjustment to find the “sweet spot” where the engine performs the best.
Why is my propane tank not filling up?
1.) The first and most important step is to make sure that you are using a propane tank that has been refilled multiple times. (at least 4 times.) Tanks that have not been filled multiple times will have air trapped inside of them causing the fuel mixture in the carburetor to be too lean. 2.)

Also if installing a shutoff valve please make sure it is a full bore valve. Shutoff valves with red or yellow colored handles usually have a small bore that restricts fuel flow. * Note pressure and volume are not the same. Having the correct amount of pressure is as important as having a system that does not cut down on the needed volume of fuel.

What’s the difference between an Atwood gc6aa-9e water heater?
Even a replacement tank is available. Click to expand… The only difference between the GC6AA-9E and the GC6AA-10E is the engineering spec level. The two are functionally identical, as the identical model number implies. As I recall, the difference between the 9E and the 10E is a minor circuit board change.
Why does my propane tank not come out?
Here is the problem: I just had my tank refilled, and now when I attach it to my turkey fryer and open both of the valves (like normal), no gas comes out… I am wondering if maybe I accidentally tripped some safety feature?
