Hyster H50J wiring

Have an older H50J that is acting up - serial number F003D02979F-
Has a GM 4 cylinder runs on propane. In the course of some other repairs we took the distributor off and now we have a wire or 2 that we are not sure where they go.. Anyone have a wiring diagram that shows the distributor cap hookup.. We replaced the cap but still not getting it to start. Have spark - but there must be something else.. fuel delivery ?
Any experts out there?

hey guffman,
i just checked on hyster website and the diagram listed for this truck must of been scanned and the quality is so poor i'm not even going to try and save it.

so.... unless someone has a paper copy of this manual and can scan it at a high resolution it's going to be hard pressed to get a viable copy of the diagram.

is this the GM High energy Ingnotion system that has the coil in the dist. Cap? You say you are getting spark???? There are three things required for a engine to run....fuel,spark and compression...they also need to be at the correct time.....if you are getting spark the next thing i would check is to see if it is getting fuel to the mixer.....if you squirt a SMALL amoutmofmstarting fluid in the mixer does it try to start or start run then quit?????
