Little update:

I took the carb apart & cleaned it good; fuel flows good when I pull the
hose off where it attaches to the carb.  Still ran about the same.
Pulled the distributor off; one of the springs was off the centrifugal
advance weight & a bit mutilated.   I think I got it "re-shaped" well
enough to work but would MUCH rather replace it before putting it back
together.

I was at an auction Saturday & there was a real pretty little red Cub; I
looked at it & the engine was identical to my forklift engine.  

Now, where do I look for that spring?  I know there have been mergers,
etc, & the dealer that used to sell IH now only has Kubota.  Seems like
Ford New Holland got into this merger; do I need to go to the Ford New
Holland dealer?  Would prefer to find one locally as the shipping would
probably far exceed the cost of the little spring!

Thanks!

Hey gang
 
I got an old forklift with either a Cub or an A engine; think it’s a Cub
as it’s real small (2k capacity Yale; this engine is stock factory
installation I believe).  If this tells anything the cover for the
cartridge type oil filter is part of the cylinder head.
 
Anyway; it runs but seems real sluggish (like it’s timed a bit late?).
Also hafta keep the choke pulled bout half way out to keep it running &
is real cold natured; once started has to warm up a bit before giving it
ANY throttle (even if the outside temp is 100+ which is very common in
Texas summers.  Usually takes multiple restarts to get it going; had to
put brushes in the starter a coupla years ago & just had to replace them
again; wanna get it so I can just start it & have it keep running.
 
First off; how does it time?  Seems like I found timing marks once
before but that may have been on something else; been “just putting up
with it” for a coupla years now.  Wanna check that first then mess with
the carb.
 
Next; there just seems to be one adjustment needle on the carb; I plan
to take it apart & clean it so what is the initial adjustment?
 
Thanks!
