Self tuning Khyber on CNG & problems faced..
I have a 1998 Khyber G10 engine with tartarini kit & 50 KG cylinder.I have a little knowhow of tuning.My car is giving 165-170 KM on a full cylinder without A/C. I decided to carry out little tuning / inspection myself. I did tuning in following steps:-
1. Changed air filter, drained oil from CNG regulator.
2. Opened Denso W-20EX-U plugs, inspected, cleaned & adjusted gap to 0.75 MM.
3. Took compression of cylinders, it was around 11.8-12.1 kg/cm2.
4. Fitted back plugs as per mentioned torque.
5. Started engine on CNG. Warmed up engine. Opened tappet cover, adjusted intake valve clearance to 0.25 MM & exhaust valve to 0.28 MM.
6. Fixed timing light. The timing was 8 deg BTDC with 1000 RPM.
7. I decreased the RPM to 850 RPM with carburator air / fuel mixture screw.Then changed timing to 4 deg BTDC as per workshop manual.(My car is without advancer)
8. I felt decreased in performance so i again changed timing to 8 deg BTDC since i usually drive on CNG.
9. Now, i m facing following problem.
a. Veh is giving good starting on cold engine. But it is taking 5-6 seconds self on warm engine.Acceleration & performance is OK otherwise.
10. I have following questions from CNG gurus.
a. On CNG, more air is required or less air as compared to petrol??
b. While tuning on CNG, RPM is adjusted from air / fuel mixture screw on carburator or from the screw located on kit(regulator)?
c. Where is the small cng filter loacted in CNG solenoid. ( I read it on tartarini website that a small cng filter is located in cng solenoid).

Can u plz tell me does tappet adjustment has any effect on mileage and u mentioned the gaps of tappets what is the ideal setting of tappets. and tell me from where i should get the tappets of my Khyber adjusted.
Is this mileage on highways or in city?
And how do u advance the timing of ur car and is it possible to install advancer in carburettor cars?
What is the impact of plug gap on car's performance and economy?
Thnks!!!
