Before you hook up to natural gas, check with the engine manufacturer to
make sure that that particular engine will operate ok on natural gas.
Natural gas does not provide the lubrication to the valves (valvestems) that
gas does. In time with poor or no lubrication the valves will gall in the
valve guide and stick. Probably wide open. Instantly no compression.
I own a generator that this happened with the previous owner.
