I'm definitely going to get a kit for my portable generator. All this time I was under the impression that I'd have to make permanent change to the carb that would limit me to one fuel. Depending on how that works, I may get one for the Onan in the RV. It would be nice to have a propane option for it, too. ...
turbo,
You were correct up 'til about two years ago that the conversion approach was to drill a hole in the carb for some applications.
A less invasive approach was to use a brass disk, IIRC it was like 1/2" thick. Propane would be introduced via a port on the rim of the puck and the "hockey puck" was installed between the carb air inlet and the air filter. This frequently caused installation issues because the air cleaner had to be moved that 1/2" and brackets and other parts would interfere.
The new approach is use a thick "gasket" instead of the hockey puck. The gasket is like 1/8" of an inch and most all generator's can have this installed without any interference issues. Propane is introduced into the edge of the gasket... think thin, pliable hockey puck. :)
