I have an fg35 that's driving me nuts. It's had several ignition problems lately. In the last year we have replaced the ignition switch, rotor button and electronic pickup/sensor in the distributor. After each of these repairs the forklift ran fine for a while. Now we have another problem. The lift starts fine, but when you release the key, the lift dies when the key goes to the run position. We've checked the ignition switch. It puts current to the ignition terminal when in the run position. We checked and found current to the coil and distributor. What could cause it to die immediately when you release the key. You can hold the key near the start position, to the point the strarter does not engage and the forlift will run fine.

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
