Steve - I'm very interested in propane also. Could you give me some
insight as to how you constructed the "demand valve". I would appreciate
your hwlp so I could make one also. 

Thanks, Larry Anger, Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada.

Hi Harry - 
I also recently entered the world of propane, this being on a newly
completed model. At first, I tried the simple approach of just piping
the gas to the mixer (two ball valves, one air, one gas), but didn't
like the idea of the unchecked gas flow if the engine stalled, and the
results weren't that good as far as operation. I ended up fabricating a
'demand valve' which made all the difference in the world. The thing
runs so good now I hate to tear it down to paint it! The engine is a
Mery like those 2 that Reg recently finished. Pictures, sound and a
video are located at the top of my main web page.
