Hi fellas,

Just wondering if any of you have any ideas as to what my problem might be. I'm having trouble getting the forklift started in the morning. It seems to be temperature related. It can take take 30 minutes of trying before it starts to fire. My feeling is that the attempts are actually warming it up somehow before it finally fires. Once it's going, it takes another 20-30 minutes to reach a temperature where it performs well. Prior to allowing it to heat up, it wants to stall and operation is very jerky with very little power. However, once it seems to have reached a happy temperature, it performs beautifully and as it should.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? The unit is an H20T-03 LPG.

I've had a Linde technician out to work on it and in the absence of knowing the actual problem, he's replaced a couple of the LPG components, which did seem to get it running better, but it hasn't solved the starting problem. He now wants to come and install a new starter motor, but I'm not sure this is the issue. It starts fine for the rest of the day and I'm guessing this is because it never completely cools down, as I'm on and off it over the course of the day.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
