Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 00591-63508-81 point set used for?
A: This point set is a contact breaker component used in the distributor of older internal combustion forklifts. It opens and closes electrical circuits to trigger spark plug firing in the engine.
Q: Which forklifts use this 00591-63508-81 point set?
A: This point set is compatible with forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Mitsubishi with older distributor-based ignition systems. Confirm your forklift model, year, and engine type match this part number.
Q: What happens when the point set wears out?
A: Worn points cause engine misfires, rough idle, difficult starting, and reduced power. The contact surfaces erode over time from repeated electrical arcing, eventually preventing proper circuit switching.
Q: How do I know if the 00591-63508-81 point set needs replacement?
A: Symptoms include engine hesitation, stalling, backfiring, or difficulty starting. Points typically fail after 12,000 to 15,000 operating hours of normal use depending on engine load and maintenance.
Q: Is this point set still used on modern forklifts?
A: No. The 00591-63508-81 point set is for older forklifts with mechanical distributor systems. Modern forklifts use electronic ignition modules and distributorless systems that do not require point sets.
