The problem is it won't start. The forklift was running 100% fine (except for a fuel distribution problem) and now it's totally won't start. It will start with starter fluid and it has good spark.

In the past I've had a problem with fuel distro. 2 center cylinders run really rich, 2 outer cylinders run normal.

So it seems to be carb issue. Seems to be a one barrel carb.

I bought a rebuild kit, but I am not sure it's right. I also bought a cap and rotor at the same time and the cap was fine but the rotor they sent was totally wrong. So I have a 50/50 chance the kit is correct. The kit they sent was an Mapco H20A H20M, 16010-K9000K

The fork lift is a yale from the 70's. (see model no.)

I don't want to pull the carb off till I confirm I have the right kit or I'm sending it to someone to rebuild who is familiar with the parts.

Thanks
