Will not start/How do I know If LP gas is making it to mixer?

Good Morning,
I just bought at Cat T50D LP forklift knowing that the Impco CA-125 mixer was broke. I replaced it with a brand new one and installed a new FULL LP Fuel tank. However, engine still will not start, just spins over. I checked for ignition spark, and spark plugs are getting fire. I checked for power on the fuel solenoid thats connected to the Impco Cobra Vaporizer and its getting power to it and clicking. I checked fuel line from LP tank to Vaporizer and Im getting fuel to the vaporizer. Im not getting fuel however from the rubber ouse from the vaporizer to mixer with engine spinning over. How do I know if the LP Gas is making to the mixer?

Make sure you have good compression on your engine.
you should have about 14.7 inch lbs of pressure going to carb from vaporizer
Too much fuel and it wont fire.

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
