Hello All, Quick Question.
First I just want to say I am not sure what model the forklift I am working on is, It is a clark, has a points style ignition, and is propane fed. My main concern is the starter not working. The Starter has four terminals, one labeled S, one labeled R and 2 big terminals, one that houses the +12VDC and another terminal that connects to the starter frame. When the key is turned on voltage is seen at the wire feeding the S terminal, but no voltage is seen at the R terminal. The only way to start the engine is by jumping the large terminal that houses the +12VDC to the S terminal. I'm assuming that the solenoid is shot, but wouldn't that cause the plunger not to engage onto the flywheel? Not well versed with my starter knowledge (as seen). Any how my main question is what does the R terminal do, and would it be responsible for the no crank situation? If so how about should I go fixing it, and if not what may be the issue. One last thing, the wire feeding the S terminal always has 12 volts even when the key is not in the "cranking over position" meaning the wire is seeing 12 volts in all positions except the off position. Thanks in advance for any help.
