Hello new to the forum and just purchased aold t45b cat forklift (lift truck) to use in the shop. Over the years someone has been into the electrical ect and I'm in the process of putting and repairing it all back to stock and original so trouble shooting will be easier ect. It hasn't ran in years and dud run when it was parked as I knew this forklift prior to purchasing. Anyways I've replaced all the points and condensor and cap and rotor and have good dopark engine has good compression a new certified and full tank of propane aswell. But will not fire up or backfire or kick when I try to start.I'm now into the fuel system but propane is not my field but have many years in mechanics with gas and diesel. My questions are as follows. What's the firing order on my 4cyl continental engine on the cap and direction ? 1342 clockwise ect? Next I am trying to figure out what some of the parts are as I don't know there names or have a wiring diagram to help hook them up ect but can pist pucs if someone can help and provide there locations ect. If someone had a t40b or t45b maybe they can help with pics and the info I need to hook things up right. I'm sure the reason it will not start is an electrical problem going to a valve not letting the propane flow as it seems it's a not fuel start problem. If someone can assist you have no clue what help it would be to me. I also don't know where this post belongs in the forum so if someone can help it would be appreciated. I can provide model # and serial # if needed aswell to help assist in the repair process. Thsnkyou
