Vaporizer rebuild issues

Hello
I have a 7fgu30 toyota lp forklift.
It started running rough. It would not restart when hot. So, I ordered a new vaporizer rebuild kit. The vaporizer was full of gunk. I cleaned installed new bladders and gaskets. Rebuild was not hard and non eventful. I replaced rotor cap, plugs and wires.
Now, forklift will not start. It will turn over when I cut gas pressure, Then when it's trying to start, I open gas and it dies. Looks like it is getting too much fuel. It's flooding.
What should I try now, solenoid? What area of the vaporizer should I diagnose ? There are three electrical points of contact. The solenoid, the top round switch that looks like a fuel cutt-off, and a sensor with two wires with exposed screws that looks like some sort of pressure switch.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
jc

I solved it. The top sensor on the vaporizer next to the gas adjustment screw was clogged with gunk. If believe that its some sort of lpg flow control. If anyone knows what this is called. Please reply.
