Gas prob turned out to be the converter as i first thought so had to change it over, which cost me an arm and a leg, for a 'LANDI' converter. Anyone heard or have any words of praise for these converters. I know there also italian made and close to half the size of the stock vialle's.

Landi converters are as good as the rest. I work on forklifts and 75% run Landi coverters, don't give much trouble. Theres not much to em really, 2 diaphrams, springs and a device much like a needle and seat. All that happens when gas leaks is a diaphram has a hole in it and rekit the coverter. (Usually)
