Kalmar C50BXPS:
The oddest of things.

Cranks won't run... unless I toss a jumper from ignition (bat +) to distributor. Then it runs and the forks operate but it will not go in to forward or reverse.
If I try the same thing with the selector in F or R, it won't start. So the neutral interlock seems to function. This thing is pretty darn analog. I think that is the only interlock. It's propane with a nissan engine. Just a little red dude that wants to run right but has an incompetent master.
Little red dude appreciates your help!

Fact of the week
The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
