[AT] IHC questions

I've a Cub and an A and your engine doesn't sound like either. The Cub is a
flathead and the A has valves in the head. Both have a cartridge filter with
the Cub having a sort of flat round cover over the filter which sits inside
the side of the engine above the starter. The A has a "can" that goes down
over the cartridge which is on the right rear of the engine. Both filters
are on the side of the block and below the head of the engine. Once you ID
the engine, a good tune-up and carb clean/rebuild ought to do the trick.

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!

Lew near Waco, TX
