HIPA Generator Dual fuel carburetor LPG CNG conversion

Pete is going to show how to install A HIPA Generator Dual fuel carburetor LPG CNG conversion kit. Here on the homestead, we’re working on our emergency Preparedness. Part of that is getting your generator’s ready to run on different kinds of fuels. So you’re not limited to one type of fuel in case of emergency. He wanted to show how to get his gas generator to run on propane.

You were supposed to set it by Hertz with a non-inverter generator. You should set that to 61.5 Hz

James Condon would be furious.
Not one time in this video did I see a torque wrench. 😮

[@gmsgabaradama2009]

Hipi make the best kit and carb are for sure the best

[@cheaphomesteading]

I’ve always been happy with there stuff

[@rickmcdonald4552]

Have you had any problems with motor by switching to manual choke. I notice you did not plug up vacuum line from choke. Another video I saw he had to plug hose or it would not run correctly.

Sorry it took so long. It’s still running great.

[@philliphall5198]

Looks just like your

[@andyblanchard6231]

Hey Pete I know it’s been some time . I’m rebuilding a perkins d3.152 and I was watching your video on the timing cover when you torqued it to 28 was that footpounds or nm ? Thanks

[@cheaphomesteading]

Sorry man I can’t remember. I borrowed the manual when I rebuilt the motor so can’t even look now. You can look up a universal torque spec for the size of bolt and thread. it will give you a rough idea. I wouldn’t do that for internal bolts. But for the valve cover it should be good. Thanks for watching and hope you get it fixed

[@andyblanchard6231]

Thanks I went 28 ft pounds for a 5/16 24 bolt. it should be around 21 went 7 pounds over do you think it would be ok to leave? It’s the inside timing cover

[@cheaphomesteading]

Its good if the bolts tightened up. I would leave them. It’s not that much over. I’m glad you are getting it together. Have a great night

[@andyblanchard6231]

Thank you 👍

[@philliphall5198]

I have a 55 Genrex and someone cut wire off low oil sensor and kill switch wires Try to find how to rewire it with new low switch

[@philliphall5198]

Yellow wire goes to sensor coming out of block

[@philliphall5198]

Also if it won’t start then unplug blk wire coming out of little silver box with yellow wire

[@HipaParts]

Thanks, Pete. Very detailed and helpful video.

[@cheaphomesteading]

Thank you for sending the carburetor. It worked flawlessly. Have a great day
