Nissan Nikki 17120 vaporizer trouble

Unit is a little H30.

Currently fighting a nikki vaporizer.

Started with hole in radiator, and poor running lift.

Replaced radiator, waterpump, t-stat and cleaned coolant system.

Still iced up vaporizer. Heard a propane leak out of it.

Pulled it and took it apart, full of tar and diaphragms were hard.

Ordered rebuild kit, cleaned, replaced all parts put back in lift and it blows propane out of a port on the bottom back side (flat side of unit opposite where coolant passages are.

Took back apart, can't find anything wrong. Literally no one around me has even heard of a nikki.

Not sure what to do now.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
