Steve, try a shot of starting fluid in the air intake on the chance it is too cold for good propane vaporization and is too lean to start.
If it is flooded with liquid propane, then using a hair dryer to warm the vaporizer has always worked. The 2 pickups and 2 tractors I run on IMPCO fuel systems will usually start at 0 with only a good primer. At 20 below or colder where you get almost no propane vaporization, I have found that a shot of ether in the air intake will get it fire a few cylinders which seems to be enough to keep it running on a pretty cold/lean propane mix.
When you do get it running, let it idle dead slow until the coolant warms enough to keep the vaporizer from freezing. The engine coolant heater will usually also warm the vaporizer for easy winter starts.
