How to choose the right Green Conversion Kit:
There are two basic conversion kits in the AltFuel line, Model 1(AF1) and Model 2(AF2).
Model 1 is a manual conversion kit designed for only 2 specific engines. Model 1 only
works on non OHV/OHC Briggs & Stratton push mowers.
All other engines will use Model 2. Model 2 is an automatic conversion kit controlled
by the demand of the engine. Model 2 works on approximately 90% of small gasoline
carbureted engines.
There are three basic parts to the AltFuel Green Conversion kit Model 2: The Regulation
System, Fuel Supply Line, and Intake Adapter. As long as the engine you intend to convert
is NOT a non OHV/OHC Briggs & Stratton push mower your engine will use a Model 2 regulation system.
After knowing your engine will use Model 2 you will need to decide how long of a Fuel
Supply Line you will need. This is done by approximating the distance from the back of|
the carburetor to the area where you would like to mount the regulation system. Remember
to take into account any moving or folding parts along the path of where you intend to
|
rout the Fuel Supply Line.
The last step is to refer to the pages in this catalogue, or the easy to use Engine to Intake
Adapter list to determine which Intake Adapter fits your engine. The Intake Adapter
installs between the carburetor and head of the engine.

When speaking to client the most important information to collect is:
1: Manufacture of the engine
2: Manufacture serial and Model Number
3: Horsepower of the engine
3: Application of the engine. |
