Hi, Yes, in my case, I can run my generator on either natural gas or gasoline. The engine on my generator is a Briggs and Stratton. The addaptor to run on natural gas fits right on top of the carb. The choke plate is moved on this engine by sliding a lever. After installing the natural gas addaptor on top of the carb, the sliding choke lever was not long enough to reach the arm on the choke plate, so I had to extend the lever to reach the arm on the choke plate. I extended it with a short piece of metal I cut from a piece of roof flashing and rivoted it to the end of the choke lever with two small pop rivots. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee A.

I don't remember now where I bought the kit but it was somewhere online. I do remember telling the sales person the model of the engine on my generator and that was the only information he needed. He then sent me the kit which consisted of a natural gas regulator ( looks similar to the one on a gas grill) an adaptor that bolted onto the carb, a piece of hose that connected the regulator to the adaptor, and a few bolts and clamps. It was pretty simple to hook up, I completed the job in less than an hour. The most difficult part was extending the choke linkage to get it to reach so I could still run it on gasoline > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Edward Przybylek > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 12:27 > Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Generator Conversion Kits to Propane and Natural Gas. > > > Hi all, > > I read this message about generator conversion kits and took a look at the > web site.
