Tom, you are doing it exactly backwards. You should start
the tractor on vapor, then switch to liquid after a few
minutes when the engine is warmed up. The hot radiator
water runs through the vaporizer to heat and evaporate the
liquid fuel.
If you try to run on vapor, the heat to evaporate the liquid
has to come from the remaining liquid in the tank. Since
your tank in only about 24 gallons, their just isn't very
much of a heat sink to draw upon, and it won't produce
enough vapor to run the engine for very long.
