Forklift tech for 25 years or so... I've seen lots of cobbled stuff
over the years. All is fine until someone gets hurt. Then **** hits

If you ever stumble across a Baker/Linde B PL-30 forklift (hydrostatic
drive)..I need the electronic speed control modual that bolts to the
firewall and operates the carby, and maintains the engine speed, no
matter the load.

Propane carburation with a big solenoid that opens/closes the throttle
via that paperback dictionary sized box of electronics.

Need one really badly

If all else fails... You might be able to switch over to a mechanical
governor, or an electronic one meant for a generator set.

Don't raise the drawbridge, Lower the river. ;-)

They do have belt-drive governors with fancy linkage set-ups where you
have a manual slider on the dash like a lawnmower to set the speed, or
a potentiometer for the electronic ones, and the governor arm runs the
throttle to hold your engine speed set-point.

Does the big solenoid run a butterfly valve on a throttle body, or is
it directly pulsing the fuel/air supply?

It runs the butterfly valve.

And Plan C is a hydraulic cylinder on the main pump that cuts the
throttle as system pressure increases - so if you aren't moving and
you hit the lift hydraulics, the drop in pump pressure off the relief
set-point gasses the engine to match. There have to be old-school
mechanical solutions for that, for ancient fork trucks.

Im not a good enough hybridist to figure out how to do that. Sigh

Ive set the idle up as high as the adjuster will go..which isnt all that
high..and I limp around when I absolutely have to under high idle
power. Which makes using it an utter pain in the ass.
