QUESTION:Sorry this is a little off topic, but i saw another forklift thread on
here. I have a Caterpillar LP Forklift, and have just recently started
having problems with it. It will be hard to start, crank and start and
die right away. eventually it will run. I just had it running for
about 10 minutes and it would backfire occassionally and then it dies
once it warms up. then you can crank and crank it but it won't start.
I switched out the LP tanks but it didn't help.
Any ideas?
ANSWER: Now's the time to bring out your timing light and determine if you have
a properly timed spark when the engine refuses to run. If so, start
looking at the fuel delivery system. If not, you should see if the
ignitor (or points) is in good shape and have the coil tested.
Had a tune up lately? Maybe you just need plugs, points, condensor,
rotor, rotor cap.
