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

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
