That and gas conversions are very picky with intake leaks.

I'm still betting on carbon fouling in the spark plugs.

Re: Idling Problems with gas conversion
 

The gas company in my town runs their truck on LPG without problems. This
used to be a real common problem in the days of single throttle return
springs without any gas being involved at all. When did they finally come
out with double return springs, 1976? You fellas probably scared this guy
off with your anti-Honda pro-Jeep comments anyway. Nobody in the Honda ng
has a clue either.

Hi Earle,
Drag Racing requires two return springs:
