Forklift keeps dying

I have a Hyster model of forklift, not sure in the model (will get that soon), but it keeps dying especially seemingly randomly. If I get on the throttle a little it is fine, but it has a problem when tilting back/forwards and when moving forks side to side. Unless I am on the throttle, it dies. Also, when idling it will generally die after a few minutes, sometimes less.

Propane is full, battery has been checked and the connections secured, but still happening. Any ideas?

It sounds like it either needs a tune up, fuel filter, or throttle adjustment. Hard to say without knowing what model it is though.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
