Propane Conversion

[rebel003]

I am considering converting my 6.5 Honda dredge motor to use propane. Does anyone run propane powered equipment now? If so how does it perform? If you had it all to do again would you still use it?

Any input would be appreciated.

I love propane - motors last forever on the stuff. Every oil change comes out golden looking new. Mates courier van, he pulled the head on a 4cyl 600k motor run from day one on propane - still had hone marks in the bore.

But - why would you want the extra complexity and refuelling headache on a little cheap to run / cheap to replace motor?

Alan, I had a long talk with a guy from michigan I met over at Coker Creek GPAA claim that swore by propane. Said it was very big up there and propane was ALOT cheeper up there than down here. The obvious is you get alot more life out of your motor, oil wiill look brand new whenever you check it. Google the conversions and youll find one for the honda dredge motors but to be honest, propane isnt really that cheep in the south but I could see doing the conversion for motor life but whos ever heard of a briggs or honda motor actually die that wasnt properly used and maintained?
