Forklift wont start Code E38

I have a P5000 serial Nr AT3500810 that wont start and shows code E38 - which i understand is vapouriser failure. When i bought it yesterday it had a massive leak at rear cover plate of vapouriser so i got a new rubber diaphram gasket for the cover and retried starting it now the carb seems to freeze up and propane sounds like its rushing into carb. My question is whether i should purchase a new 800 dollar vapouriser or if there is any info that someone could share with me in order to repair this machine.If i dissassemble the vapouriser is there anything i should be looking for? Thanks in advance

cat has remans available for less money
save yourself about 300 bucks and get a reman

one other thing to consider also is if the vaporizer over-pressured the main injector housing it could have damaged that main injector as well. If you hear lpgas rushing into the injector body,... this has occurred and the main injector will need to be replaced as well.

Does this have the NIKKI Regulator in it?
Need to rebuild the whole vaporizor,is a couple other diaphrams and a "flapper valve" as i call it that should be replaced also,then will have to set the pressure to 4.5 PSI.
Have an email to post in your profile?? Have to post as mine is as site strips out readable address's.

hi,

This failure relates to a propane gas leak just change the parts of the vaporizer and ready packaging or check if any of the hoses to be leaking water and not reaching the vaporizer
