I would recommend replacing the entire propane system. This system regulates a flammable gas & if it's malfunctioning in one aspect then the entire system is compromised. Unless you know for sure that the system has been serviced rercently (within the last month or so) , to avoid future headaches & possible damage to product or operator I'd replace the entire system.

I would replace the Impco model J convertor with a Impco Cobra model though. I've had lots of problems recently with the model J convertors on the market. Replacing the diaphram in the carburator would be sufficient (don't have to replace carb), and the VFF-30 replaced as a whole unit would complete the fuel system. These parts together shouldn't cost more than $500 from any dealer in your area.

The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
