A good suggestion. For anybody that has a PI engine ( IE as well as their stag) don't even think about this option. I had one in my TR6 for some time and as PI engines are often a bit harder to start it sometimes takes more than 5 seconds of cranking, particularly when hot. My LPG switch installed by the previous owner operated exactly as Laurie describes. I didn't realise that it was "timing out" after 5 seconds even though the engine was cranking. The distributor pulse was not sending a signal until the engine fired! It should have but I had no way of knowing.
Threw it away and replaced it with the old original and presto fixed. I think the modern MG, Rover or even Ford types should be good. I am going to change mine
