Someone here was a certified forklift repair tech. I've lost the
history.

I bought an old (1978) ClarkLift 2000lb machine to help moving
projects
around the shop. Got it for 3K delivered, and it runs well and is
dry
everywhere (!).

It has only one problem that someone else hasn't already bypassed,
removed, or re-engineered -- The dip tube in the fuel tank must
(probably) has a hole in it. It loses its prime after sitting for
as
little as 10 minutes. The tube outlet block/fitting appears to be
welded
to the tank, so no removing the tube to replace or repair it --
without
some fancy torch work INSIDE the body of the machine (before you say
it... NO! I won't G)

Thanks,
Lloyd

Is there a handy place to plumb in an outboard motor primer bulb?
