I finally confirmed that the engine in my Cat V60B Forklift is a Perkins 4.236
Unfortunately 90% of the part numbers in the Cat parts manual for the engine are no longer any good.
Fortunately, I did find that the Perkins 4.236 was used in a lot of applications including many Massy Ferguson farm tractors and the parts are readily available from places like Yesterday’s Tractor.
One problem that has developed now that summer is here is that the engine won’t idle after it warms up (after 15-20 minutes of run time). It’s like the accelerator is stuck at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle, but it’s not a mechanical linkage problem.
The only thing I can think of is that when the fuel heats up its viscosity drops and increases in flow into the engine?
Maybe I need new injectors?
The engine runs fine when it’s cold. It’s Easy to start and runs smooth. Any ideas what could be wrong?
