Hi folks:

I was given an old Hyster forklift about 8 months ago. Based on the serial number, it seems to be a Model S40C from roughly 1972. It has a Continental F163 "Flathead 4" engine. I last had it running a few months ago, but recently I have tried to start it and it won't start. I work frequently as a mechanic, but am not a forklift mechanic by trade. And, I am not real familiar with propane engines. The engine turns over fine, however, it seems like it is not getting any fuel to he carburator. Does anyone have a few basic things I can check to determine the problem? Thanks to all for any ideas you may have.
