Discussion:
Starting will idle and then shut off or won’t start at all

All right, so I sent my forklift off multiple times for repair on the hydraulics and a vaporizer at one point and a hose and it seems like ever since I've been sending it off for repairs more things I've been breaking tired of paying thousands of dollars which is more than what the saying is actually worth so all of a sudden, now the problem is it would start it would idle and then shut off if I tried to move or it just wouldn't start at all. It's like there was no fuel getting to it. I had to take the propane tank and put it back on to get fuel, but even then, sometimes it wouldn't work , what would seem like the obvious problem or should I Start I'm gonna go ahead and check Spark. I don't think it's the battery because I've had the battery plugged up and I've tried to also jump it off with a jumper could it be the fuel vaporizer.

If your battery is okay, then the problem is likely due to faulty Starter motor.
