Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) GC15K:
Intermittant spark issue

Had a unit that would start for 10 seconds and shut down, then restart and do the same thing, shut down. Check for voltage at coil and if voltage does not disappear with engine stalling change the coil and the igniter in the distributor cap. Its the simple things we over look sometimes.
