I bought a 30KW generator with a 3.0L GM engine on ebay. (no returns). Been running an aircooled on natural gas. I discovered that the gas company can not provide me with sufficient volume for the new one. I live in a small town and the gas company runs 4oz pressure in the whole town and I am on a 2 inch main with other customers.This is a new unit, never been run but surplus. After I learned that the gas company can't provide sufficient gas, I set out to convert it to LP (vapor)I was told that the spark needed to be retarded 6deg. I then discovered that the engine was dressed up in an EPA costume and that the timing was controlled by the ECM. I contacted the Engine outfitters ( I don't know the official designation) I was told that I would have to bring the engine in (to Oklahoma) and they would have to change the wiring harness and regulators as well as adding a vaporizer. I told them I didn;t need a vaporizer that I would be running it off vapor from the tank. They said the only certification that they had was for Liquid LP and they would have to build it to certification. I hooked it up on LP runs great, didn't set any codes on the Micky Mouse ECM. but I was told that it would possibly damage the engine if I didn't change the timing. I wasn't able to check under load . Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
