Yes, with some minor modifications. The natural gas quick disconnect fitting on the hose will need to be removed and replaced with a propane pressure regulator and tank fitting. The air-fuel mixing valve will need to be adjusted for proper operation (or backfiring will result). Engine speed will need to be adjusted to provide proper output frequency.
