Hey all,
I have a 1966 Clark C60 forklift (6,000 cap.) that was stored in a shed for about the last 15 years of its life. My dad used to sell seed and when he stopped, so did the forklift. I have got into metal working and need it to off load metal as well as moving machinery around. It is a propane unit and the components needed to be replaced (ie. electronic shut off, regulator, etc...) We got it running, and for sitting for 15 years, it runs great. The only problem we have is it will not idle. If you let off of the foot feet, it will die. If you give it gas continually, it will run just fine. Would this be a mixer issue where we need to change air/fuel ratio or would it be adjusting the linkage so it revs higher when no gas is applied. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
