    CLARK continental Y91 fork lift cant find the timing ma

    It was running. The owner tipped it over. He brought it to me to see if I could determine what damage had occurred and if I could get it running. I cranked it a few times when I got it and the starter was making noise so I pulled that. Starter is bad. I also pulled the carb and rebuilt it...

    CLARK continental Y91 fork lift cant find the timing ma

    Attempted to do that. However, the radiator on this thing does not allow enough clearance to get a socket and ratchet on the crank bolt making it nearly impossible to rotate the engine around. I am at the point I may weld up some kind of attachment to get it to work. Right now I managed to get...

    CLARK continental Y91 fork lift cant find the timing ma

    this is a 4 cylinder gas 50's engine. I need to time this thing and I CANNOT for the life of me find the timing marks. No plate on the bell housing and no pointer or numbers on the pulley or anywhere around it. If any kind soul has any experience with these and tell me where on earth to...

    Clark Continental L 4 cylinder Y91 fork lift..strange so

    Thanks everyone for the help with this! Got to be the starter. I'll have raise this thing up, block it nice and sturdy and crawl under there. What a cumbersome vehicle to work on. It's got decent compression. Other than the carb issues apparently it ran well for the guy.

    Tested the battery, good battery no issues with it and fully charged when cranking.

    Clark Continental L 4 cylinder Y91 fork lift..strange so

    "nearly set up"? What does that mean? This distributor looks pretty worn out and I had to soak it in penetrant to get it to free up in order to rotate it

    Clark Continental L 4 cylinder Y91 fork lift..strange so

    I does sound starter related. I was hoping the crank was broken in half and I could throw it off a cliff :) it looks to me like a huge PITA to get the starter out. Never worked on one of these.

    Clark Continental L 4 cylinder Y91 fork lift..strange so

    This is an old Clark Y 91 gas forklift 4 cylinder. can anyone identify this sound? I crank it over and get this strange almost grinding sound or high friction sound. I can't really describe it. The motor will try to start then this sound happens and the starter solenoid starts to heat up. I...

    Near catastrophic 3 point hydraulic nightmare.. Massey

    Update on the hydraulics! working like a champ now! I ended up replacing the cylinder pump, piston, rings, safety relief valve, filter, studs and fluid.Made the proper lever adjustments per the book and I put a gauge on it and it topped out at 2800psi. I reset the adjusting nut and bolt to 1/2"...

    Near catastrophic 3 point hydraulic nightmare.. Massey

    saw that.. thats terrible. Mine was similar but not quite as bad. I am surprised more damage didnt occur on mine. Iv'e since learned the PO changed the piston and cylinder and rings and DID NOT swap out the relief valve. The original piston was cracked probably from the same initial...

    Near catastrophic 3 point hydraulic nightmare.. Massey

    Thanks for the help with this! The previous owner really struggled with the hydraulics on this tractor. He wasn't a mechanic and didn't wrench all too often and finding a mobile mechanic around here is near impossible. Ultimately I believe the hydraulic issue why I ended up with this tractor...

    Near catastrophic 3 point hydraulic nightmare.. Massey

    What position is the lever when it is in "constant pumping position"? I am trying to get my head around how this system works. The book I have doesnt show a good photo of how the levers should be. I looked at a few references I found on the web and the below photos is what I came up with...

    Near catastrophic 3 point hydraulic nightmare.. Massey

    Could very well be. My mistake was not taking off the side cover and looking in to see if anything looked out of wack. Better yet I should have pulled the whole thing off. Ive got to get a detailed diagram of whats going on with the inside of this thing.
