I figured out where it came from, my Buddy and I both assumed that someone had pulled the air filter. The thing was full of ****. Luckily the throttle plate blocked almost everything and what did get through was fine debris from acorns. I cleaned everything out to the best of my abilities, I did take the carb off, cleaned it out too. I would say it could use a good cleaning/rebuild, it doesn't like to run unless the choke is on about 3/4. I did get the "oil clutch" to work, the brakes seem to work, but need to be adjusted, the clutch is weird, seems like you have to start it in neutral, then once it has fluid flowing, you can use it, otherwise it is almost impossible to push down, like power brakes without the engine running. Main lift ram leaks, fuel tank needs to be cleaned out, tires need updating, but it is a pretty decent forklift. I will replace the forks, they have been broken a couple times and welded back together, the carb will get a rebuild, I have some tires and wheels that I can make work, then the seat needs to be replaced and add some lights. Also need an 8' long cable for the choke, the one that is on it was on the floor pan by your heel instead of being up on the dash.
