Thanks very much everyone. Actually, the problem with the forklift is resolved! I literally saved $1K.

Basically, the person from whom I bought the forklift sent his mechanic to take a look at it as a courtesy. The mechanic tells me "One of the hoses that goes to the hydraulics was loose. What kind of a mechanic did take a look at this? How did he not notice it" So, I asked him if there are any issues with the fuel regulator, he says no. He said he also did some other adjustments. I think the forklift is a little louder (maybe works on a higher rpm) but regardless, it works and it is a pride of ownership for me, more beautiful than a $50K Mercedes in my eyes. Next thing, I will be painting it when I have time.

Now, one problem is, this forklift has solid tires (I don`t know the correct definition) that are obviously meant for outside use. It doesn`t have the cushion type tires. So, this causes the forklift to turn at larger angles and not as nimble as the cushion tires. It is like a clumsy monster in my warehouse (I already messed up a dry wall)

Quick Question: Can the two smaller tires in the back changed to those cushion type tires?

Thanks much everyone.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
