Forum Discussion
There is a helpful forum at US Carb that discusses issues such as those you raise.
I have not seen anyone post of the need to modify the engine as you describe. My generator runs smoothly and has no engine modifications. If I remove the "hockey puck" adapter between the carb and the air cleaner, my generator would be restored to stock condition.
If a propane engine is "smoking" there is clearly an issue with the installation OR the engine itself.
There is a years long thread at this site that documents many, many propane mods made by RVers... As I said, I am not an RV person, so I make no recommendation as to the advisability of converting to propane for an RV.
Some generator manufacturers are now offering a propane fueled model using the same engines with no internal modifications. Seemingly temperature and other parameters are not an issue in their minds. Indeed, IIRC US Carb offers a popular RV propane modified generator with a full factory warranty.
