Fuel Conversion, 20RES/RESL

For LP vapor fuel, an orifice is used in the fuel line. The

unit is typically shipped set up for natural gas, with the

loose orifice tied near the fuel solenoid valve. To convert

to LP vapor, install the orifice and disconnect the spark

advance leads as described below. See Figure 1-15 for

the fuel system component locations.
