![]() Installed the cap and the motor came to life, I checked all the fluid levels, gave it the once over and took it outside and got it stuck in the snow. Sent my mobile guy to the store and they even had one. I needed a forklift today, so was all excited to get one, got it here, 200.00 for delivery, roll it off the flatbed, and it's running on three cylinders, well screw with this and screw with that, you know, pull plugs, comp test, check point gap check wires etc, well it all boiled down to a distributor cap. I sent the flatbed this morning to pick it up, here is a shot of it as it sits in the shop right now. Anyhow, my buddy who has a forklift, and had it in storage at his buddy's house, well anyhow, something happened and he needed to move the forklift. Well I still have yet to see the parts or the repair man, we have bad weather up here right now so don't expect him for a couple of days now. I am assuming that the flow out of the regulator should be around 12 to 25 psi, I did check voltage at the electric shut off and it is good. Did notice a relay system under the seat tied in with a ballast resistor much like the old chrylers.Īnyhow here is a pic of said carb, maybe someone has an idea ? On the right side of the carb is the soleniod that activates a plunger to open a passageway inside the carb to allow more fuel to flow, used for cold weather starting, to replace a choke ? I know the safety system, operates off the motor to flow the propane, if unit stalls, the flow is shut off. don't think it is a carb problem but a fuel delivery problem. Phoned around for a carb today, curious, anyhow about 900.00. Has a electric activated solenoid on the one side of the carb to aid in starting, and I have figured out what this does is simply open a jet inside the carb to flow more propane. Gets enough propane for power, something wrong with the low speed circuit in the carb. ![]() As I run the motor at high speed, power is there no problem. If it does idle, only if I set the rpm up around 1100. Replaced the plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, points and condensor, change out the propane tank, removed the carb and cleaned out. ![]() Unit is a 86 Clark with a 4 cyl propane motor, 2600 hours on it. So my new used forklift decided it won't idle anymore. ![]()
