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.
