Okay. GO THE K MOTOR!

What's that now, 40 years?

After 40 years you would expect them to be making a bit of power.

The Buick V6 of 4 cylinders!! :|

How much power does a fork lift need?

How much power does a fork lift need?

 

Not as much as you might think.

5k would drive a hydraulic pump which does all the heavy lifting.

 

They are only small forks. :cool:

Some came with 4K's didn't they?

One of the forks that i use to drive many years ago was powered by datsun, datsun a12 that is. But yeah the 4k powered forks are out there

OMG I just fitted the new genuine tubes and o rings. The o rings are WAY better than the aftermarket ones. You can tell from the feel of them as the aftermarket ones were way too hard. I'm going for a bit of a drive now and I'll see if they'll need gluing down, but doubt it. They fit nice and snugly and don't move.

 

Wish me luck!!

howd they go john?

 

and how much and from where?

nothing beats genuine parts, except the price tags?(sometimes)but its worth it like you said!

It was something like $46 for tubes and rings. Not a great deal but way worth it. There are no leaks what so ever... Of oil.

Its ok Jon, You know whats next don't you, Oil, Water, Fuel or air?

 

(I HOPE TO NOT JINX YOU)

Its brakes. I can hear them and they are getting worse. Plus i just found out there will be a weeks wait on one of my new roters.

Tho i have known for months the carbie is on its way out. I'm sending the twin SU 's away tomorrow to be rebuilt. Once thats all done then i can focus on rust and water leaks.
