Discussion:
Running Rough Issues

We have three of the Hyster Fortis units. All three have the mazada motors in them. What the problems are is that they begin to run rough and idle up and down on their own. If we go in and put in a new injector in them the problem will go away for several days/weeks, depending on how much use they get. But then it comes back again and we have to change out the injector again to fix it. We have other different model units and none of them have these issues. All the units run the same LP fuel. Any sugestions or ideas?

I have 1 customer with 2 fortis units. I do find they are more sensitive to propane then other units I service. The customer refuses to switch to HD-5- they are currently using commercial grade propane. The propane regulators only last 6-8 months and the injectors last about 2 years.

Customers love technology- until they have to pay to fix it!
Dont really otice any waxing in it. I point the finger at fuel in them as well but the rest of our other units seem to be running fine.
