Point Set for Forklift

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What forklift models use the 3040376 point set?
A: The 3040376 point set is compatible with gasoline-powered forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Check your engine year and model number to confirm fitment.

Q: What is the purpose of the 3040376 point set in an ignition system?
A: The point set controls the on-off timing of the ignition coil primary circuit. Points opening and closing create the spark timing signal for the distributor.

Q: How long does a 3040376 point set last?
A: Points typically last 1500 to 3000 operating hours. Lifespan depends on engine load, fuel quality, and condenser condition. Replace points and condenser together as a system.

Q: What causes the 3040376 point set to fail prematurely?
A: Premature failure occurs when the condenser is defective, ignition timing is misadjusted, breaker arm spring loses tension, or point gaps drift. Always replace the condenser when replacing points.

Q: What are symptoms of worn 3040376 points?
A: Symptoms include rough idle, hard starting, weak spark, timing drift, and engine stalling under load. These indicate the point gap has widened or contact surfaces are burned.

Q: Can the 3040376 point set be cleaned instead of replaced?
A: Burned or pitted points cannot be reliably restored by cleaning. Replace the point set with a new 3040376 to ensure consistent spark timing and engine performance.
