I have a World WFG50 forklift that was occasionally having trouble starting. We noticed it would happen every time we left it outside for more than a few minutes when it was very cold out (below 30F). It got to the point where we had occasional trouble no matter what the temperature was. I checked the starter relay in the engine compartment as well as the starter fuse. I then decided to run a wire directly from the starter key switch to the starter mounted solenoid. This solved the starting problem but now will start in gear. For safety reasons we don't want to leave it in this state. I have tracked the blue wire back from the key switch to a relay mounted on the frame near where my left foot sits. I switched this relay with another and still have the same problem. Is there a neutral safety switch on this forklift? There is nothing sitting on top of the valve body with wires running to it(other than the solenoid).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Or if someone can tell me where to find a service manual or a wiring diagram for this unit.
Thanks!
