forklift wont rev

hi all, looking for some help on a yale GDP 25VX, its a 2011 model and its struggling to rev up, it will rev slightly then just sound like its hunting for fuel. its not the control between the foot pedal and throttle actuator as that's working fine, I have done the obvious and changed both fuel filters but still the same, everything is pointing towards injection pump possibly but before i go stripping that down is there anything else to look for / any common problems with this machine

Many thanks

Matthew,

I hope you have this resolved by now, but I can suggest a few things to check. Need to verify the throttle sensors at the pedal are reading correctly. They have two signals that are sent. One should be twice of the other. If one is sending 1.5 volts the other should send 3 volts. Since you have changed the filters, have you checked the tank for contamination. Pick up tubes can get clogged and only allow enough fuel to idle but not run. Make sure the breather is not clogged. Had a 6.7 Cummins that would cut off at full throttle due to clogged breather. Though I would expect the engine to accelerate for a short period, then start bogging down. Also, check all fuel line connections and connectors. Have found screens installed that are not listed in parts. These need cleaning time to time. Good Luck.

The hard to do we do right away. The impossible just takes a little longer.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
