If you follow the hose from the propane tank, it should go to either a little electric solenoid or a larger valve assy with a vacuum line attached, from there it should go to the regulator which will either be mounted in the thermostat housing or a stand alone unit. To help I need that information first.

As far as the spark- it needs to be bright blue & jump a distance of at least 3/8" or better when the spark plug wire is held close to a known good ground (cyl head bolt, etc). If it's orange or yellow then the spark is weak & will cause issues. I would suggest a complete tune up if your spark's yellow. Does your dist cap screw down to the distributor or have clips?
