Re: Writing and posting pics in a tech article
If you have a Mac computer, the picture opens in "Preview". Select File, Duplicate to create a copy. Select Tools, Resize to change the file size of the copy. Then save it and it includes "copy" in the file name. Easy. I've done something similar in Windows 10 from the menu bar w...

Re: Light Oil in Exhaust
I had the same thing until we rebuilt the carbs. They were running way rich and I was getting fuel in the oil.

Re: US Ford transit wheels fit the 712k!!!!!

Re: Engine Oil Level Too High
Took an extended trip in the Pinz, oil level is normal and hasn't increased, no fuel smell in the oil. We had trouble with the new OEM SAV fuel pump providing fuel, and put the same M60175 fuel pump back on, so it wasn't the problem, it was the choke being set at 1/2 on all the time and the carburet...

Utah - Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument
We just completed a 2 week high adventure trip to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and Boulder Mountain. We based in Escalante Utah with our group staying at the Cowboy Country Inn and Canyons of Escalante RV park. I've done a lot of beautiful country in Utah and this was no exception...

Re: Carb Rebuild and New OEM Fuel Pump Install
We finally had great success with our carb rebuild and fuel pump. The Pinz ran like a top with good power at our Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument adventure based out of Escalante Utah. Never a problem even at around 8,000 ft elevation on the highway with steep grades or the off-road trail...

Re: First Oil Change, need opinions
I'd say if you touch it and smell it and if it's fuel you should replace the pump. I believe there are a couple of small holes in the plastic base, so fuel might drain into the oil through those. I'm having second thoughts on whether my fuel pump was the reason for my fuel in the oil. We took our s...

Re: Carburetor bottom base to middle section bolts
We used Loctite Blue when re-installing the bottom bolts about 3 weeks ago. We had to separate the bottom again yesterday to install new accelerator pump valves, and the bolts cracked open pretty easily with the Loctite Blue. So I think the original problem was corrosion. BTW, I had ordered new bott...

Re: First Oil Change, need opinions
I had the oil level too high and fuel smell in the oil too. I've had a lot of responses here on the fuel in motor oil problem, I haven't had any particles on the magnetic plug. The most likely cause seems to be a leaking fuel pump. I recently changed my fuel pump and did find gas on the underside of...

Re: Trick To Installing Locker Knob?
I enlarged the picture to see better, and the white at the bottom is white cord in the hose, so it's rubber hose of some type.

Re: Engine Oil Leak on bottom of cylinder head nearest drive
Started the Pinz again yesterday and tried the rag stuffed around the oil return tube. The stains in the pictures are from the day before, before I started it up with the rag in place. I didn't see anything visibly flowing with the rag around the return tube, like I saw the day before with no rag. S...

Re: Carb Rebuild and New OEM Fuel Pump Install
Depending on the kit, the accelerator pump pistons are either leather or plastic. I've heard that the leather is the (much) better of the two choices. Which came in your kit? Ours came with the plastic ones. I only looked at SAV, the one we bought, and at EI who doesn't even show a kit on their web...

Re: Successful Carb Rebuild and New OEM Fuel Pump Install
I'm sorry, but you need to re-title the thread to "Unsuccessful carb rebuild." The Pinz runs very strong after it gets past the coming off of idle stumble. The whole point to the accelerator pump is to dump lots of fuel down the carb in a abrupt acceleration and avoid the stumble and fall...
