THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

the stock vent (pictured above) on my 85 712k trans seals under slight vacuum (and very probably it's own weight)... it only vents with positive pressure. I've lost count of how many water crossings I've done that are deeper than that vent (rub rails) and there has never been any water in my Redline...

I love the look and feel of the new format and colours, a big thank you to everyone responsible, what an awesome effort.

....Vince I just realized how much I miss your little Bird on the fishing rod profile pic.

Looks as if there's a few fellow Aussies interested in these late NZ 716/718's...as am I but as far as importing one (or more) to Australia I don't think it'll be a straightforward deal until about 2030-2033 when they become 25 years old. IIRC the approx 320 Pinzgauers purchased by NZ are built betw...

The one in the Terhorst link is interesting, it's got a VW 6 cyl diesel fitted...even though it's an obvious choice because of the assocation that engine has with the Volvo (240???) that's one engine ( assuming it is the D24?) I've never heard of being diesel converted into a tgb/C3OX Volvo. The ad ...

Thank you "The True Pinzgauer's" that type of information (above) is priceless IMO as it generally stays in the specialist workshops it was realised in. Does Stec/Puch have a list or file (in English) of all the factory revisions over the years and that is available to the public? I recently had my ...

For those more interested in doing the above mentioned job (pump/piston fuel volume correction & calibration) themselves, for systems that use more than one carb you will need to use a method that measures against a unit of time as well as measuring the fuel per amount of strokes...that is if you wa...

Thanks Hostenplotz, Yes there are multiple techniques for calibrating pump volume, from how the OP described his problem and the steps he took to rectify it I was thinking that he/she might have missed this step when working on the carbs. I recently posted a link to "sparking plugs" website, It's Po...

I'm not surprised it got snapped up quickly at that price...you now know what to do IF happen across another 1K Pinzgauer.

This is a great place to learn about them, Happy Hunting.

Looks like the same seller has a 712M on eBay as well..B.I.N.$29,950 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Great-Running-1974-STEYR-PUCH-Pinzgauer-712M/182999002889?_trkparms=aid%3D444000%26algo%3DSOI.DEFAULT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20170221122447%26meid%3D5fda15083233424d884fc86311cd62b9%26pid%3D100752%26rk%3D3%26rkt%...

If a Pinz is in your future you need to get this asap...the spares alone would make this purchase pay off, even if only half of the driveline worked you'd still be well in front. I'm from "Down Under" and I dream of finding a "Pinz for parts" and I reckon I'd be in for 5k...1k is a steal, we just do...

To back up TechMOGogy's advice....I used a similar aluminium cleaner, BLITZ made by ChemTech, I also found it to be a waste of money...sure it did clean but no better than any degreaser and I didn't notice the "brightening" effect at all. Just wash them as best you can with whatever you've got lying...

Thanks rmel that is some great info...you just answered me a few questions that I've long wondered about. In particular I had previously thought that an alignment plate (Factory tool?) was required across all four heads to do this work. I suspected one (or all) cyl's could be aligned properly withou...

boeing7837, earlier you said that one carbs acc pump was pumping half the volume of the other...what process did you use to calibrate the acc pump volumes?

I found the pages in the link below to be so informative that I thought it deserved a place somewhere on the board....perhaps "Tech Sessions" (??? Vince) Be sure to have a good look around the site...the "tech tips" link has a heap of different articles that are must reads for anyone interested in w...
