Hard Starting - Technical Troubleshooting discussion in Forkliftaction's forums

Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) V40D:
Hard Starting

I am presently working on this Caterpillar V40D forklift and having a hard time finding the starting problem. Sometimes it starts and other times not a chance. Is it possible that some one has previously worked on this machine and installed the wrong Regulator on it? They have a CT2W4392 vaporizer on the machine now and the sources say it should have the CT7C1189 Regulator on it. The machine turns over fine but just won't catch all the time. Has a new module installed and a full tune-up kit.

No! I have not tried the hose but I will try this next. How do we set the AIR GAP in the distributor pickup? There isn't any side play at the distributor

have you considered changing the hose that carries the fuel from the regulator to the mixer? (mixer is the top of the throttle-body/carburetor, unless this is a "dual fuel")
what did you set the air gap in the distributor pickup at? is there any side play in the distributor (not up and down, but sideways, like if it had a set of points, the points would push sideways on the distributor shaft).
