no start

I got this forklift in yesterday for a no start condition, its got compression ,spark ,I'm not sure if the regulator is working properly
it only pulses propane for a second then stops, It has started one time for a few seconds but idled very slow, then died when I gave it throttle. It has not started since. I have tried starter fluid, but nothing seems to help. Anybody ever ran into a problem like this? any help would be appreciated. Thanks

no , no gauges yo check the pressures with, I ve gotten a new regulator and engine revolution switch for it. it just seems to not get enough fuel. I have back probed the pig tails on the regulator and they are working properly its just not getting enough fuel thru the hose to start.

If you are sure the ignition system is working properly, it is usually a fuel delivery problem. Make sure the lockoff valve is opening, also check the inline fuel filter in the main feed hose. Do you have pressure test gauges for the LPG system?
