yep snowcats right we got two hyster 10 tone counterbalence trucks at work both with perkins engines spot on when you get em started easy to work on and maintain think the trouble with ours are there both indirect injection engines and theres only one glow plug on the air inlet manifold with a diesel line conected think whats suposed to happen is when you press the cold start button the glow plug kicks in but the diesel doesent seem to drip round the glow plug and ignite in the manifold seems the small diesel line thats conected to the glow plug blocks up and failes one of the best engines we got at work is a small tcm fd40 5 tonne counterbalece izuzu 6 cylinder 5 liter diesel poweplant had it five years now at work never once let us down in any way and that starts first time every time no problem winter or summer think thats a lot to do with it being direct injection
