Motor Snorkel tri-fuel kit

Any one have experience with these kits?

Many of us have Honda or Yamaha Gensets that run on gasoline only, and would like to have the option of running on propane as well. The Motor Snorkel kit from US Carburetor seems to make this very easy.

In my case, I have two Honda eu2000 gens that apparently can be easily fit with these snorkels, and possibly even run together off the same propane source.

    General Hint
    I discovered to my rude surprise I had to be very patient when installing new or converting to LPG. Keep tweaking the mixture control and after grinding your teeth for ten minutes the engine will start. Hidden drawback. Operating on gasoline then switching to alternative fuel. Gasoline in carb will gum. Figure out how to use Sta-Bil.

    Wonderful to be able to use natural gas if possuble. Re-calculate max potential watts output X 60% due to degraded motor horsepower. Natural gas seems to ne THE way to go for long power outages. LPG exhaust has a sweetish odor, natural gas less so.

    This sure didn't answer yoir question about a specific product. :)
