Recently, one of our lifts has been experiencing many issues. It has a damaged head gasket, stalls when turning, stalls even with the throttle being pressed. When it experiences these stalls, we are unable to get the lift to restart without pressing the gas pedal repeatedly when trying to start. Even if it manages to start, it sometimes immediately stalls again repeating the process. The plugs also keep fouling every few months and excessive carbon build up, as well as a needed valve adjustment. The temperature gauge also will only read up to half way and will not go past that point even if the engine is clearly running hot.
In summary, would most of these problems be stemming from the head gasket issue or is there a greater problem with the lift overall?
