Hyster 120XM LPG 4.3 Governor

The lift starts and idles perfect, when you push the throttle the engine only revs up just enough to notice then backs down. If I operate the throttle at the governor it revs fine. The governor is no longer available new I can find them used for a pretty penny I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and if they found the governor at fault. Thank you.

Jason,

Had the same problem 4.3. Customer had the engine rebuilt only to have no acceleration. Found governor had failed. This was on a 80XM. Not sure what the difference, we quoted replacement to the customer. Good Luck

Fact of the week
Phytoplankton create at least half of the world's oxygen production, despite amounting to only about 1% of the global plant biomass. They also respond rapidly on a global scale to climate and environmental variations, so are often used as indicators of marine health.
