Kohler 5cm65-hs switching from gas to propane

 
I have a used Kohler 5000w model 5cm65-hs with no user manuals.

Currently, it is using gasoline, but can accept LPG and LP as well.
LP isn't an option as I do not have access to the lines.  I also have
two 5 gallon propane tanks.

Two questions:
  Would it run longer per 5 gallons of propane than 5 gallons of
gasoline?
  Depending on the results of the first question, how do I adjust the
carb to accept the LPG?

TIA

 

     No, because gasoline has more BTUs per gallon than propane.  The advantage
to propane is that it lasts virtually forever.  A standby generator with jelied
gas in the carburator tends to deliver more frustration than kilowats.


   I suggest that you go to the Smokstak Kohler forum here:

   Suffer through the registration, and ask your question.  You will probably
find folks that know your model of generator and can actually give you an exact
answer.

the propane.
