Hey guys,
So my ef mont is running dual fiel andworks great for city driving, however I was driving to the central coast from sydney last weekend and the speed limit went from 90 to 110 so i began to press down on the accelerator and it didn't really do a whole lot even with my foot flat to the floor the acceleration was really poor... From what i've read this is caused by the fuel mixture leaning out... If this is the problem does anyone have some sort of solution? Cheers, Pat

No one else has experinced a lack of power at highway speed like 90 - 110?

If it's only just one tank you might have a bad batch of fuel. If so, use as much of it as possible then fully top up and see then.

Gees I recon it could be lots of things even bad spark plugs will do this sort of thing if is a aftermarket lpg it may need the power valve and converter tuned spark plug leads even coil pack could play a part.
I sugest start with plugs . Start the engine at night see if the plug leads light up like a xmas tree that would tell you the leads are stuffed Good Luck |
