Billy,I have experience with installing and servicing IMPCO propane fuel systems. The coolant line to the vaporizer is plumbed in before the thermostat,so coolant circulates through it as soon as the engine runs. On a cold start,you should run the engine slow without load untill the coolant warms enough to keep the vaporizer from freezing up.Also keep the coolant level up in the radiator,with low coolant level,some engines will not circulate coolant in the vaporizer if it is mounted high up on the engine. Most IMPCO vaporizers have a primer button on the case cover.Pushing this button will open the secondary stage of the Vaporizer/regulator and feed a bit more propane vapor to the carb for easier starting. If you have an IMPCO "air valve" carb,it neither has nor needs a choke.
