Subject:      diesel-gas conversion - done!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Took my '82 Westy with '86 CIS GX motor for a drive today, no dripping
things, loud squealing noises, or catastrophic clanking from the engine
compartment - I call that success. Runs pretty well, but still needs some
fine tuning. Idles a little rough and doesn't develop as much power as I
think it should. Something having to do with timing and maybe mixture I
think. Starts with one turn of the key, cold or hot!


But  I'm designating this moment as 'conversion done day'! Thanks for all
the help!
