That’s actually not bad looking. Did you have to get them redrilled to fit the hubs

Sounds like the MAP sensor may be un-hooked - lives near the coolant bottle/tank.
LPG stalling like that, often means a vacuum leak.

when My EB was blowing black smoke off, it was due to a hose off.. vaccum hose maybe from the map sensor or PCV etc. 
i think the O2 sensor sees LEAN(due to massive air leak) and richens the shit out of it... 
 
the LPG may not run because they don't like vacuum leaks.  

that give's you something to look at until someome more familiar can chime in hopefully

You will have to swap your xg bellhousing (The au bellhousing will bolt to the xg engine bit the bottom of the bellhousing won't mate up with the gearbox supports and unless the Au was also column shift it won't have the mounts for the shift selector), Speedo drive and gearshift indicator onto the Au box and it will go in 

yeah I feel ya. I’m just about at wits end with mine. Very interesting to have one as a first car.

All good advice from the Deaner... Most common LPG problems are from converters getting a tarry buildup inside; a result of impurities being left behind as the liquid is evaporated into gas.
 
This instance seems different though. The bad economy on petrol could be from a mixer issue. What kind of mixer do you have: diaphragm or venturi type? If diaphragm, you could have a hole in it, causing the metering piston to stay closed, restricting the flow through the mixer instead of the piston opening with engine load. A high vacuum on the engine side will draw more gas out of the jet and run rich.
 
In petrol mode, this same restriction to flow makes you put your foot down more and gives the engine more fuel as it thinks its under enrichment. This may explain the bad economy in both modes.
 
Of course, there could be individual causes for each issue as it's very easy to assume that two problems that occur simultaneously are related. I've been caught out a few times like this.
 
So the gas could be from a gummed converter and the petrol could be a dicky temp sender or cold running engine (thermostat).
 
Btw, the "old engines go better without thermostats" thing is a myth. All engines need them, and they provide the correct amount of restriction to build up pressure and prevent cavitation in the water pump. Not running one could make it take ages to warm up in cooler weather, but cause it to overheat in warm weather (due to said cavitation).

no (or stuck) thermostat? running cold riches up the mixture like a choke.
O2 sensor? 
blocked air filter.. that's all i've got.  
 
@gerg would be My first to ask

ive got a haynes book for eb/ed that has a supplement for xg thats actually prety handy.
you dont need to remove the steering but its considerablly eaier than tryna manouvre it around the wheel.

I think ya might be right. Everything else seemed to be working fine earlier.

i had a similar issue in my old xe, I replaced every earth wire I could find and added a couple extra wires and it fixed the problem

Au motor had same plug and basic shape. But the shaft that connects to the linkages Is the wrong shape. I tried to swap em around but they’re setup too different. Stripper the original motor down and cleaned it and out it back together again. Havnt managed to get it reinstalled yet.

Thanks for that I’ve already found a couple of redbacks in me airbox so I’ll defs be hittin it with flyspray. Hopefully I can get all done before it try’s raining today. 

I was referring to the little black box under the dash. But I’ve sorted the problem I think
