For the HSCS engine, I connect the propane line to the mixer
without the float. Took the fuel nozzle away and replaced it
with  a brass tube with a 3/16" hole just in the middle of the
venturi.

The six M got just the hose in his throat and runs like a clock
with closed air damper. ( one of these days I will make a
special secret connection for it). For fine adjusting it needs
a sorta of aircock to give more or less air.

My experience is, close the air almost and start the engine,
when it runs lower the propane flow and the engine will
slow down. Close the air more and watch what will happen.
Experimenting with both a little more or less will result in
the best setting at the lowest rpm. The better your air and
propane control the easier it is.

PS. Better don't smoke when experimenting, had once
      a moustache......
