Subject:diesel-gas conversion - done!
From:Matt Ratto
Date:Sat, 1 Feb 2003 19:05:26 -0800

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!
