[QUOTE="altfuel1991, post: 186053, member: 1211"] An engine with those components should start almost immediately when cold. The lockoff is definitely not the problem. That is the same setup as about 2 million forklifts in the US. 1. Check for any excessive clearance at the throttle shaft and base plate. If you can move the shaft it will cause a vacuum leak that causes hard starting and a poor idle. Sometimes when the engine gets hot the clearances will tighten up and it will start hot. 2. Check the gas valve assembly inside the mixer for dirt, oil or damaged diaphragm. 3. Check the fuel hose from the vaporizer to the mixer for cracks or degradation(rotting). 4. Check for vacuum leaks at the base plate/manifold. Also check for a bad intake manifold gasket at the head. 5. Check the vaporizer for excessive oil inside as well as worn/damaged diaphragms. The problem sounds like a loss of vacuum somewhere. Was the mixer and vaporizer new when you got them? I have seen numerous problems caused by used mixers that have worn shafts and housings that make them impossible to dial in or start properly. When a propane engine is right you should be able to stand outside the rig, hit the starter and have it fire up and settle into a normal idle with no help. Let me know what you find.
