Discussion:
Will not idle when warm

Older forklift, running on gasoline. The rig starts up easily when cold and runs well enough until it gets warm. Then it is a handful. Solution now is to bully it with lots of gas pedal. It does not get used a lot, and predecessors here were not concerned about getting it running well.

The carb was replaced in the hope of fixing it, but not so much. I took a quick look at vacuum lines and will take a closer looksee.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
