Propane fuel

Hello all

First things first Model G82C-030-HFT-071
S/N P-208510
TYPE G

This is my personal fork lift.

This unit uses Propane fuel it has the Cobra regulator and I am unable to identify the carburetor.

It will start and keep running at well above idle rpm but will not start at idle. I have to choke the air inlet to get it to start with the throttle open. This unit has always been a no start with the throttle open but always did start at idle.

I replaced this Cobra regulator with a new one about 5 years ago. It started and ran good a month ago.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks in advance
