Just bought forklift in this condition. Previous owner replaced regulators. Forklift starts and idles great. As soon as you start to give it throttle it sputters and "chokes" itself out. If I place my hand 1/2 way over the carb to cut off the airflow it revs up perfect! 100%. I initially thought it must have a major vacuum leak somewhere.....but I cant seem to find that. Then I thought maybe fuel supply? Then previous owner told me they measured 1psi of propane pressure....but I dont know exactly where that was measured??
Is there a fuel filter or screen somewhere that could need servicing??

Thanks for now

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
