Thanks to both of you.
I do have he solid state all in the distributor, I have battery voltage to the distributor, swapped everything but the coil over from another forklift that was operational, still no fire.
I was hoping for resistance or voltage checks on the coil to verify it is bad before telling customer he has to buy a new one.
Thanks again for your input.
