Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a point set used for in fork lift equipment?
A: A point set is an ignition system component found in older fork lifts with gasoline or LPG engines. The points open and close to interrupt engine electrical current and trigger spark plug firing for combustion.
Q: Which fork lift models use the 1237013826 point set?
A: The 1237013826 is compatible with internal combustion fork lifts from manufacturers including Mitsubishi, Cat, Hyster, and Clark. Verify your equipment engine model and year to confirm point set compatibility.
Q: What happens when fork lift points wear out or fail?
A: Worn or failed points cause poor engine spark, rough idling, hard starting, stalling, and reduced power. The engine may produce backfiring or misfiring. These symptoms indicate point replacement is necessary for normal operation.
Q: How long does a point set typically last in a fork lift?
A: Point sets in fork lifts typically last 1 to 3 years or 500 to 1500 operating hours depending on engine load and usage patterns. Heavy duty operations or higher engine speeds accelerate wear. Inspect points periodically for pitting or burning.
