[T2] RAINING IN BALTIMORE

[steve blackham]

WHEN propane was cheap, that where they used to put the propane jet when they were running the bus off (or assisted by) propane.
Wish I could figure out how to do it with natural gas.  $1.60 here in Utah

interesting idea, didn't want to punch holes in anything if I could help 
it.  don't have carbs so no carb cleaner around but do have an acytelene 
air torch used for plumbing,  I am very reluctant to use highly volitile 
stuff almost burned a bus with ether once... close call. (keep them 
extenguisers handy)

I've had this particular bus for over 20 years and it keeps finding new 
adventures for me. but this is the most frustrating of all in 50 years of 
VWs

Put tube in 1/16th inch hole and inject while cranking (key on).  If it fires up (may need to rotate dizzy to find tdc) you know the ignition, spark etc is working.
