Hello men , I seem to have an issue with my Clark cy500 forklift. If it sits all nite and I start it up in the morning ,it starts fine,but when I put it in forward or reverse it won't move. But if I leave it in neutral and rev it up pretty hard ,I will let it come back down to idle,and it will operate fine all day long.If I shut it off,same deal rev it up ,back to idle ,moves fine. I have removed the inch pedal parts and pluged off that line to eliminate that problem. Could it be that I am losing prime at my suction tube in tranny or hyd tank.it is clean on the screen. Any thoughts?

Did plugging the inching pedal fix the issue? Losing prime seems better than any guess I have.
