Reasonable success with small (<15 HP) engine conversions here.

I've done a few using aftermarket kits, since factory kits for the overwhelming majority of small engines simply don't exist anymore.

Spud-in (non reversible) kits from U.S. Carburetion are affordable and seem to work adequately.  Adjusting for reliable starting is a PITA sometimes.  First one took 2-3 hours but I can do them in under two now. <http://www.uscarb.com/>

Dual fuel kits & setups for larger engines from Carburetion & Turbo Systems are nice, but pricing was a little high for most customers <http://www.carbturbo.com/>

Half the people I talk two swear by one type, the other half swear at that type.

I really wish Honda still offered factory LPG engines.
