I tried to start the tractor yesterday in 20 degree weather to plow the snow.
The tractors hydraulics were turned off at the pump and the engine spins freely and fast. I could smell propane and see light distortion as propane escaped from the air intake after 30 seconds of cranking the engine over.
The throttle was at 1/2 way.
The engine has always started up instantly in warm weather.
The ignition parts are new.
Tank was at 60% full.
Valves work ( liquid/vapor)
I tried three diff batteries,all new and full charged.
Unit is 12 volt ( converted )
The engine does not have a block heater.
The propane converter ices up after a few minutes of cranking.
If I shut the propane off and crank the engine for a few minutes the engine will catch and run for two seconds then die.
Please advise.
