Re: High idle speed

For completeness, now that I had a chance to take the carburetor apart, the issue was that one of the gaskets had torn and come loose, causing two issues. Air was coming in through the gap AND a broken section of the gasket was flapping inside. Seems to be much better now. Thank you for the help and ...

Re: High idle speed

Thank you for all your thoughts. After a minor disassembly, I realized that the issue seems to be a vacuum leak because of one of the seals. So, it looks like a little more work digging in.

Thank you.

Re: Spout for Jerry can leaks

I'm going to chalk this one up to the can being too full. I attempted it again and got more spillage than I would have preferred, but after a while, it worked as intended. I guess I filled the can more than I ever did previously. Lesson learned (hopefully).

Re: Spout for Jerry can leaks


Without breaking down the the physics of the spout's function, my experience is that it works optimally with an aggressive pour. When attempting to pour just a small amount of fuel from a full can I'll often experience the behavior that you described. However, when dumping a full can into the Pinz ...

Yes, facing up when in the can (not in the picture).

Spout for Jerry can leaks

I have what I believe is the original spout for the Jerry can. It has worked well for many years, but I used it the other day and gas poured out of the breather valve and made quite the unexpected mess. Gas was coming out of the breather. I took it apart and waited a few minutes. I tried it again ...

High idle speed

I would like suggestions on why my engine might be idling very high. This just started.

I've had my Pinz for many years. I had the engine tuned about a year and a half ago. I've driven long distances in it and never had issues like this. I don't have a tach on it.

I recently drove for about 20 ...

Re: Flasher Relay

Is this the correct replacement for my original 91PMK 3+1x20W 24V flasher relay? https://www.pinzgauer.com/showdetails.php?cat=pinzgauer&partno=SAV1430

If so, what is the proper way to install the new flasher unit? The old one I have had two separate bolts connected to separate wires. This just ...

Re: circuit breaker source

Is this still the best and recommended way for upgrading circuit breakers? I have 2 that are popping - one of which which has been popping randomly for years. I intend to dig into them more, but IF I need to replace the breakers, is this topic the best approach that others recommend?
