Got a 59 Gvi Lp and am having trouble getting it to start. Do you have to have the liquid and vapor valves open together or just vapor then after it starts and runs awhile open liquid valve. IT runs fine after it does start. What am I doing wrong.

You only start it on vapor. Always open or close the valves slowly so the excess flow disc on valve inside tank doesn't try to stick shut cutting off flow. If it won't start well on vapor then check for restrictions in fuel lines or other problems. You only run on liquid after the engine has warmed up well and the vaporizer/regulator will vaporize the liquid LP from the warm engine water running through a coil in it. If the vaporizer coils or hoses are plugged it won't warm well to run on liquid either. Can usually run 30 minutes or more on vapor till it warms good and then open liquid valve and shut vapor. You can switch back to vapor before shutting it off and cooling down and running on vapor a hour or so before shutting down can reduce pressure in the tank making it easier to fill later also.

I don't have a G VI manual but would think a G VI manual would cover the LP tractor also? The MM 670, G1050 and G1350 manuals I have cover diesel and LP tractors in one manual. You might search ebay for a manual ?

M&M produced an operator's manual for the diesel and a separate operator's manual for the LP tractors. The parts manual is the same for both though.
