The invention discloses a forging method of a cylindrical pin for a fork-lift fuel feed pump. The forging method comprises the step a of casting a cylindrical blank which contains the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.23-0.28 percent of C, 0.6-1.4 percent of Mn, 1.5-2.2 percent of Si, 0.07-0.15 percent of Mg, 1.5-1.8 percent of Cr, 0.02-0.08 percent of Se, 0.1-0.4 percent of Ta, a trace amount to 0.05 percent of W, less than or equal to 0.04 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.03 percent of S and the balance of Fe and inevitable inclusions. A forge piece produced by the process method is small in allowance, the material utilization ratio can be effectively improved, the metal flow line completeness of the forge piece is guaranteed, the structure and mechanical properties of the forge piece are improved, a low pressure is required during forging, and the forging period of the forge piece is effectively shortened.
