been wanting a forklift for some time now.I could always find uses for them around the house but could never find a great enough deal on one to pull the trigger.Now having just put up a new pole barn I could use one a lot more
so I ended up picking up this old clark from a job I was working on.It was last used a year or more ago for odds and ends around a local concrete plant.I cannot seem to find any images close enough to narrow down results yet.I have been searching for a couple hours now at least.
First thing I did after unloading it was try to see if it would fire up.Cracked the propane valve open and right away what looks to me like a pressure relief valve just in between the tank and motor starts hissing/leaking.After closing the tank valve ruffly 3 minutes and the hissing goes away.
I grabbed a set of jumper cables and jumped a brand new fully charged battery to the dead one on the clark and has a super slow turnover.actually stopping after 1/4 to 1/2 revolution of the crank.
Any old clark owners on here?
What would cause such a slow crank over?
Looks like a generator setup if I'm not mistaken
How to identify model/year?
Any info greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance!!
