Hi All
I am looking to buy a reconditioned forklift from a local dealer and kind have narrowed it down to a Toyota 7FGCU25. My only concern is in regard to the engine and hydraulic system. On the unit I demoed, I noticed that with the machine idling, if any of the hydraulics Lift, Tilt, Side shift, or steering are maxed out the machine stalls. The Toyota salesperson told me the machine just needed a tune up & carbon cleaned out of the engine to rectify the problem. Although the sales manager also told me its normal for the machine to choke & stall when the tilt back is held in the maxed out position, do to a fairly low idle speed needed to meet emissions. Is this stalling normal, a design problem with Toyotas, or the machine just not setup properly? I have tried a Nissan JC50 without this issue at all, and that dealer told me they have some sort of governor which raises the idle when the hydraulics are under load. Does Toyota not have such a component?

Thanks in advance for any help.
