Old Yale Forklift that had been running fine. It was always an easy starter since we got it. I have only done maintenance on fluids. While unloading a truck, it started to miss badly. It stalled and would not restart. There is nothing, no clicking, and no starter noise.
• Good Charged Battery
• Solenoid, replaced with a new one.
• Checked and even replaced the key switch. When the starter and ignition wires are not attached the readings are good.
• Attach either ignition or starter wires to the switch and the numbers drop to a minimal readings for both terminals.
• Testing with the starter wire unattached to the solenoid and checking the readings on the wire from the switch. I continue to get minimal readings until I disconnected the negative wire from the coil to the distributor.
I opened the distributor cap, and it is in need of a tune-up. I need to figure out the engine and or model of this Yale and get the parts for a tune-up.
Can my problem be in the distributor? Could a problem in the distributor cause a short that would prevent the solenoid from getting power from the switch?
Besides the tune-up what else should I investigate?
