Hyster 50 while running just quit. No action on starter. thought it was ignition switch- changed out- no change. Have power to switch. "jumped" from battery to ign and starter. Got a one time click sounding like solenoid but not near the starter. With switch "on" dash lights come on, turn to start position and lights dim out.
Optional Information: Make: hyster Model: 50 Already Tried: changing ignition switch, Jumping ignition switch terminals between bat,ign,starter.
You either have a battery or cable problem, or the engine could be locked up. Have you tried turning the engine by hand? Using fan blade or wrench on the front?
Do you have voltmeter to check the battery and the cable connections? The negative cable a the frame and the positive to the starter solenoid? all they all clean and tight?
The engine quitting, makes me think engine could be problem. Lets be sure it is ok, before trying to fix something that is not broke.
Let me know. Thank you.
engine turns over with fan. Battery shows fully charged. Will check all cable continuities this afternoon. Discovered new ign switch turns freely in barrel without making any contact. Jumped battery to ign and battery to starter with no luck.
OK
I see you opened new question, this one is still active. You have major battery or cable problem or the starter is bad if you can't jump the solenoid and make the engine spin.
