Selling a1981 712 ambulance. I've owned this truck since 2011, it's the most reliable vehicle I've owned. Driven it across country(slowly) multiple times. It was my daily driver for a couple of years. It had 67k kilometers in it when I got it, but the speedometer stopped working around 70k. It has t...

while trying to sync my carbs i noticed the front carb was no longer getting fuel, i have had this problem before, the accelerator pump came apart inside the carb, i replaced both with new parts from swiss army vehicles, one of which has failed again. is this a common occurrence, is it just poor des...

ok, so here's my newest question... i'm in the process of doing a valve adjustment, and on the #2 cylinder the exhaust valve pushrod is spinning, is this normal/ok? or is something broken? p.s. i'm learning as i go, never really been the mechanic type, but it's actually really enjoyable doing the wo...

ok, i just want to say thanks, i greased all the electrical contacts, and it worked. started right up. then while resyncing the carbs, i noticed fuel continually leaking down the throat of the front carb, so i added a washer to the float needle, and it stopped leaking in the front but not in the rea...

so, a little back story... i have a 712amb that is pretty much my daily driver, and has been for the last year. it gets all its routine maintenance, all is well. then hurricane sandy hit, and the truck wouldn't start. i figured water had got in somewhere, and i was right. took off my distributor cap...

so i've been rebuilding my carbs.... first one was missing one of the air correction jets, no big deal. I ordered a set of two from expedition imports with the only part # I could find in the manual. when I got them, they were labeled 210. the original is labeled 230, I replaced them both. Now, I ge...

According to the dipstick, its got plenty of oil, would an air leak, mean I need new gaskets?

Ok, not sure what the problem is, used to run great, but I do a lot of driving. Now it takes a long time to start hot or cold, and runs real rough. Also engine its putting of a lot more heat than normal. Strong smell of fuel too, and cuts out at low rpm. Any help? Also if there arete any pinz owners...

I have learned (the hard way) to just NOT use any electronic accessories/gadgets in a Pinzgauer. One of my trucks was purchased with a CB radio, CD player, compressor, and an intermittent wiper "upgrade." The only thing that solved my dying batteries issue was simply removing all that ele...

thanks for all the input, looks like I'll have to deal with the heat, as a/c seems to be an impossibility. the only things i really need are to be able to charge a phone and use a laptop, though an ipod would be nice too. a generator would be out of the question, because I would have nowhere to put ...

ok here's what i need to know. what do i need to be able to use/run the following: vehicle on: a phone charger, an ipod, a gps unit, compressor vehicle off: a laptop, air conditioning, interior lights i would like to be able to do this without constantly draining my batteries. i understand i would n...
