12:19 katsmeow-afk those gennies are set up for NG, i don't have, what i have is LPG, can i just stick a hose up the carb to see if those engines fire?

12:19 katsmeow-afk if they run, and the generaor makes power, then i'll put more time into it, else, back to the scrap yard they go
12:19 Tom_itx just don't let it backfire and get the hose going
