Our Fork lift runs good for ten minutes or so. It then backfires and has trouble starting after it backfires unless you let it set for twenty or so minutes. If it happens to start after a backfire it usually backfires several times before actually running again. Once you get it running after the backfire the acceleration is really low and it moves very slowly. Eventually, the acceleration will pick up and be back to normal but when you go to park it, it usually backfires once you put it in neutral or remove your foot from the gas pedal. Using the clutch and the gas pedal and keeping your rpm's up usually helps keep it running. Once it sets for an hour or so it usually runs smoothly again until you use it for 10+ minutes. It runs great until it doesn't.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
