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
