I have an old Clark forklift and I’m having trouble with the hydraulics, the forks go about halfway up and then it just stops like it’s sucking air or not enough hydraulic fluid and the tank is full, it’s actually so full it overflowed. 🤷♂️
It has two dead cylinders due to fouled spark plugs. It sets majority of the time, and doesn't run long enough to get to operating temperature so it fouls plugs often
Very hard work. You both are extremely talented. Excellent video.
Thank you
That is a lot of fine work, thanks.
Thanks for watching

That is strange, maybe try feeding the pump with a different tank? The sump line in the tank may be partially plugged? Not sure on that one
@@TheOriginalVintageIron thanks I’ll give it a try
What kind of engine is in the big forklift?
Chrysler 440
@@TheOriginalVintageIron Then the valves must be very loose in it...it sounds like a slow idling diesel in the video.

@@TheOriginalVintageIron Oh, ok. I wonder if converting it to propane would help?
Probably would, good point
👍
I can never find free stuff.
