View attachment 4318 View attachment 4319 I got my propane conversion kit for my generator/welder yesterday. I installed the main part on the carboureator tonight. It didn't go as smooth as I would have liked, but I figured out a way to make it work. The breather assembly had to be cut out and modified to handle the gas intake tube, and the gas conversion was taller than it needed, so I had to change a breather tube, but over all, it went ok. I didn't expect it to be easy. I still have to make a bracket and install the regulator, but am well on my way to having a propane (multi fuel) generator. I'll try to take a couple better Picts tomorrow of the conversion. I really am not crazy about engines, but everything you can save by doing it yourself helps. This Thursday is the rescheduled day to set the 500 gal propane tank, and I am planning to pick his brain on how to install an expandable gas line on the house. The goal right now is the generator first, then an auxiliary space heater, and then the outdoor kitchen. I may switch the water heater to an on demand system when the regular tank goes, so I want a system that's expandable. Again, wish me luck that I don't blow anything up here! It's hard to believe that the miller welder/generator looks that old now. I bought it new about 12 yrs ago. I think I have about 25 hrs on it total. I've changed the oil from age more than run time.
. No, bribing is not beneath me! A little good will goes a long way. I hope to have a working system within three weeks. I ended up going with a different propane company that the first one I called. This one charges 46.00 a year tank rental, with no free first year, but they had lower gas prices. It's at 1.79 a gallon now, where the first company is at 2.00 now. The guys are going to repaint this one when they come out to fill it, then I'll put a little fence around it to make it look better.
