I have a 1980's JCB 530 forklift. I have owned it since new and an alarm will sound if the key is on but motor not running. It also sounds for a brief time as the motor warms up.
Just the past two days it has stayed on for minutes, then when started a little later only sounds a few seconds.
While it sounds the fuel gauge shows empty and as soon as it stops the fuel reads correctly. I checked oil, and am sure it is not an overheat warning. This machine sits unused for months at a time, but has always started and run fine.
Any thought are appreciated.
