I just bought a Yale forklift, and I need help troubleshooting a no spark condition.
I know I have the Mazda D5 engine, but I am having difficulty finding specifics about the engine and I have been unsuccessful at locating a maintenance manual.
Thus far I have confirmed:
1. Fully charged battery
2. Distributor rotor is rotating
3. General resistance check on the coil (specs unknown, secondary and primary checked to basic specs 1.4ohm and 14k ohm respectively IIRC)
4. 12V at the + side of the coil (currently using a remote trigger to bypass ignition switch)
5. 4v at - size of coil (If I disconnect the lead from the - side of the coil going into the distributor I measure 12v)

#5 seems to be where symptoms start, obviously it shorts to ground somewhere.

Is this distributor a points / condensor setup or is there a module inside the distributor body?

Is the rotor button press fit, or is there a screw or roll pin I am missing?

If I pull the distributor, can I mark it and put everything back together and keep it in time?

Looking at the major parts warehouses, all I can find is the rotor and cap. Without a manual I was reluctant to pull the distributor without knowing if I could simply mark it and get it timed correctly again. Online the distributor costs almost as much as I paid for the lift, so I am reluctant to start forcing anything.

Thanks in advance for the help
