Hey,
I just purchased an ancient Clark Clipper in operating condition. But it does have a couple problems that I could use some direction on.
First, it starts and runs great. But today I took it across the lot and after a short while the power suddenly dropped and it ran like crap. If I wait a few minutes and restart, it runs good for a little while then bad again. I noticed that the propane lines have frost on them when this happens. So I think it's possible the line is freezing and preventing fuel delivery. What do you think? Any fix for this?
Secondly, the the tilt back of the forks works but doesn't hold. It tilts and then drifts back quickly forward when you let go of the lever. I don't see any leaking fluids. Possibly cylinder seals or maybe the valve itself. What do you think?
Thanks!

Larry
