Western Iowa | Not forklifts, but we have a few Minneapolis Moline LP tractors. And yes, we have had starting issues, which were more prevalent in cold weather. We always figured that the ignition system on those tractors was the limitation -- as if they were not adequate for propane in cold weather. Dad thought converting to an electronic ignition would be a good idea, but didn't find someone who knew how to do it. We installed coolant heaters and had to have those tractors plugged in in the cold weather, or they would not start.
We never tried disassembling a vaporizer, and never really considered it. I now remember that Dad put a new vaporizer on our main loader tractor (that was 30 years ago), and that was a big improvement. Now I know that the vaporizer system needs to be maintained.
Would an electronic ignition conversion also help those engines? Thank you.
