Hello,
I just purchased a 2000 CAT E6000I GC30K Forklift. Runs great, turns great. No smoke. However, it lacks power to drive up a small incline ramp or get over a bump. Also, i have to rev up the rpms to lift the forks, or make it over the small bump.

Any suggestions plan of attack? Should I start with the propane system clean (carb, filters, diaphragm) or not sure if it has an inch valve or disconnect valve.

Please advise.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
