If it were my forklift, I would check the static voltage of the battery (12.69 volts is technically a full charge) and complete a load test on the battery first. You can then do voltage drop tests to determine if you are losing voltage through bad positive and negative cables. Also, check for voltage drop at the starter 'S' terminal. There can be a lot of voltage loss between the key switch, neutral safety switch and 'S' terminal. Low voltage to the starter solenoid can cause intermittent starting issues and decreased starter life. I hope that this helps!

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
