Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of a distributor cap on a fork lift?
A: A distributor cap houses the rotor and high-voltage contacts for the ignition system in gasoline-powered fork lifts. It routes electrical spark to each cylinder in proper firing sequence.
Q: What causes a distributor cap to fail?
A: Distributor caps fail due to age, heat exposure, moisture, and carbon buildup on internal contacts. Cracks in the cap or corrosion of terminals prevent proper spark delivery.
Q: What are symptoms of a bad distributor cap?
A: Bad distributor caps cause difficult engine starting, rough idle, misfiring, reduced power, and stalling. Check the cap for cracks, corrosion, or wet interior if these symptoms appear.
Q: Is the 7026 distributor cap used in newer fork lift models?
A: Distributor caps are found in older gasoline-powered fork lifts. Modern equipment uses electronic ignition systems without traditional distributors. Verify your model uses a distributor.
