Hello
We have a 2004 Hyster H80 with GM 4.3 propane engine that has a problem restarting/turning over after use. It starts first thing in the morning but after it has been in operation has a difficult time turning over when we try to restart it after a short break. To me it appears that something(clutch?) is preventing the engine from turning over. The unit has had a new starter ring gear and starter installed and it is still giving us grief. I suspect the old parts were damaged as a result of this problem. At first you would think the battery is weak and not able to turn the motor over, but if you wait a few minutes it will turn over and start with no problem.
Any ideas???
