I do not use my forklift often, have some vaporizer troubles with questionable fuel tanks. But last two weeks started fine, then for christmas, got 3 pallets to unload, it started, died. Try to restart and its just no compression turning, almost sounded like the starter was not even engaging, but verified the fan is turning when it is spinning. Figured something in the ignition just went out, but when I get to the fuel valve under the vaporizer, there is only 5 volts going to the valve. I have read most of the discussions here about not having fuel. I can smell fuel but when it died, it has been spinning extremely easily. Thought that might point me in a direction but being automotive minded, quick spinning means big problems. If the fuel valve has to make before it gives the voltage to the ignition, I can see an issue somewhere and would prefer not changing every part. Yes, I am about to pull the plugs to check compression, just thought someone might have a place to look since this made little sense.

Fact of the week
The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
