Default 1960 fork lift redux

I like forklifts too. I already bought six of them, sold one and
scrapped another at a profit. One more was a bad deal and will likely
be scrapped also. The sixth one goes to my place tomorrow.

What I learned is that there is a reason why nobody wants old
forklifts. The reason is parts availability.

this will be an "ongoing project". Now that it starts, it's apparent
that it's a little "cold natured", and requires diddling the choke during
warmup to be stable.

Looking around reveals a fairly weak spark, but on all plugs it's, eh...,
OK... so I guess next is an ignition tuneup. Then, if I get the courage,
I'll remove the carb, and at least clean it up and check the jet (only
one, just like an old cast iron Briggs updraft carb).
