Is anyone aware of an Atomic 4 propane conversion?
Propane would eliminate the water-fuel and the fuel pump problems. Modern propane carburetors work much better than those of a decade ago and cold starts are less of a problem today (I have been told). We used to have to have a dual fuel set up to start with gas and switch to propane when the engine warmed up.
Is there a basic problem with propane a boat motor fuel? It does burn too hot or is there some other problem?
I understand the there is some kinship between the Atomic 4, the old Universal Engine Company, and modern forklift engines. Is that true? Many forklifts run on propane so a conversion kit may be available.
