Running rough

Lately I have been having issues with this older forklift running a chrysler 225 slant six. While it's running and moving slow I start to turn the wheel and if I go to much the truck dies. Then has a hard start. Plugs, cap and rotor and wires were replaced about a year and a half ago. Feel like i am losing power.

Check the ignition coil and the fuel system
If the last tune up was 1 1/2 years ago how many hours have been put on since ?
If it dies while turning wheels either engine not
at right idle RPM or bypass valve not working properly

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
