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

Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
