Got fresh fuel? Here's a long shot...but I'm just throwing this out to make sure your bases are covered. About a year ago, I found a 5 gallon jug of old gas. When I say old, I mean the gas was probably in the jug at least 3 or 4 years. I was running a gasoline-powered fork lift and I ran it out of gas. The engine was warm and I put these 5 gallons of old gas in it. The warm engine started only when I pulled the choke out, which normally the warm engine would start with the choke pushed in. As soon as it was running, I found out it would only run with the choke fully out, but I was fine with that, thinking I was going to get rid of the old gas. Anyway, the forklift ran fine AS LONG AS THE CHOKE WAS PULLED FULLY OUT. I thought I was going to get several hours of "free" fuel. What I didn't realize was that the thing wouldn't start when the engine was cold. Matter-of-fact, I had to unscrew the little square-headed plug out of the intake manifold and shoot ether in it to get it running and then would only run with the choke out. After I had burned all the old gas out, it again ran fine. Anyway, I'm just making sure that the fuel isn't old in your tank.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
