Hyster H50XM:
won't start,just clicks

Thank you in advance for any advise or help you can give us. We have a 1994 hyster 50xm mazda LP and occasionally it clicks when we try to start it. We've found that if we hold the key over to the start position while moving the shift lever from forward to reverse, it eventually will start and as it should, only in the neutral position. Some times it will act up many times in a row through out the day and other days it may happen only 2 or 3 times. A brand new starter has been installed twice now by our local forklift guru, but we've now lost confidence. Again, thank you for any help. Respectfully, Tom

sounds like you have a bad neutral switch.
i think on this truck there are microswitches in the steering column for fwd/rev/neutral if so check the two middle ones. if they are ok there is a neutral start relay which could also be bad

Fact of the week
A 1904 lecture by scientist Elie Metchnikoff extolled the benefits of consuming yoghurt for halting the "intestinal putrefaction" which he believed causes aging. The press reported yoghurt as a cure for aging and the ensuing popularity is still with us today.
