I recently acquired an older forklift. It's a Yale, but I'm not sure of the model. Drive wheels are duals and are 7.50/15. It's powered by propane and has what I think is a small block Chevy V8 engine.
When I bought it the starter was off of it, but a new starter came with it. The previous owner would coast or pull it to start it. I want to use the starter. Directly above where the starter mounts are lines coming out for a remote oil filter. These lines are in the way for mounting the starter. One is coming out with a 90 degree elbow and the other is a 45 degree elbow.
The lines are at least 3/8 and might be 1/2 inch. I'm going to have to change the 45 elbow to a 90 at a minimum and might have to get smaller lines so there is room for the starter.
How small can I go with the lines for the remote oil filter on a small V8? Is 1/4 inch too small?
