I have had a W-400LP for about 10 years. The liquid line was capped when I bought it. I ran the tractor on vapor but never used it hard. It ran OK.
Last fall, after sitting for about four years, it would not run on vapor. I took the regulator apart and found mucho corrosion. I bought a few parts but, while doing that, I spoted a regulator on eBay. I bought it for $30. I installed it immediately and the tractor runs great on both liquid and vapor. The parts cost me about $110. If you search on my name, you will find several threads on my experiences. There will also be several contacts you can call for parts and service.
But let's assume that you want to change to an Impco regulator and go the trouble of fabricating new hoses, pipes, and mount. The Ensign carbureter should work OK. The only potentially defective part is a small diaprham. My carb was fine.
I suggest that you create a search on eBay. Something will pop up within a month or two. eBay will email you when it does.
From talking to several people with LP experience, I think the rust in my original regulator was an abnormality and not a common failure condition. If the seller says the tegulator worked well before removal from tractor, I think you can buy it with confidence.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
