20% loss in power, based on BTU difference.

wow I did not think that I would have that much of a power loss. The reason that I was going to convert to gas was that I was not able to find a diaphram for my dellorto carb for glow, and not because of cost of fuel. Do you know where I could find a diaphram for my carb or buy a walbro or other brand of carb for glow.

I had the same problem with mine, I have 2 webra on glow and will not put them on gas. You need a Walbro WT158, you can get the at RC clines, they cost $51 shipped. I bought one put it on the engine and she was purring like a kitten. web site address http://www.billsroom.com/pcfs/
