Why is the Mazda F2 Forklift Engine hard to start?

Too many variables for that symptom, could be a fuel system problem, timing, or ignition problem. Make sure timing is correct, check your spark plugs, cap, rotor, and wires. While you are checking your plugs, check your compression. If all that checks out, look to your fuel system. If your vaporizer needs to be rebuilt or replaced it can cause you a lot of problems. Yale/Hyster FE & F2's usually tend to start pretty quickly and easily. Hope that helps.
