Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Ok, I replaced the plug on carb 1 the other night and am happy to report that the truck is running like a champ. Maybe, better than ever. I think that plug had been leaking a long time and it may be something others may want to check on their own trucks. As posted earlier here is what I found as I c...

Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Got your pictures as PDFs and was able to open them by downloading and opening with Adobe. And yes, you are correct, that is the opening and I think it where the super rich condition was coming from. I think the vacuum was acting with the hole and was pulling fuel up to flood everything. All was wel...

Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Well, now I have a new twist for you. My announcement was shortly after a test run with the intake manifold and air cleaner off. When I put the truck completely back together she fell on her face as soon as you pushed the accelerator with any real authority. So, I decided to start form zero with a r...

Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Tjerk, I have concluded its not a sticky valve; but is instead, simple jealousy. See, I bought a G Wagon last spring with the idea that the G would become my Hunt Club and Beach truck. That would allow me the time to do some heavy maintenance on the Pinz. I Think the Pinz got jealous of me brining i...

Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Hello Heinz, I went through each of the things that you suggested and it was the float valve. Specifically it was sticking both open and closed. Open enough to turn the plugs black at one turn. And then today when I went to measure the float levels the float balls were completely empty! So I just pu...

Re: Number 1 Carb issue.

Hello Heinz and thanks for your post. I agree, its getting fuel from somewhere even with the mixture needles closed. I rebuilt these carbs about a year and a half ago. Perhaps I reassembled the choke incorrectly on number 1 although I would have thought the problem would have appeared before now. St...

Number 1 Carb issue.

I been having issues with engine performance when accelerating away from a stop and on the highway. When pulling away the truck shook and felt like a slipping clutch. On the highway I could not match my normal top speed with a few seconds of smooth running followed by a few seconds of rough. To shor...

Re: 1st ever G wagon treffen in US

I just bought a 230GE to be stablemate to my Pinz. The previous owner took the unit plate off the grill. Can you share how it was held on? I want to put one back on and I guess I will need to fab something. Also, which tires are you running? Mine still has the 205s on it.
Thanks!

Re: Pinz Fluid summary

The only thing I would add is that Lucas Gear Oil is good to add to all those areas. It does reduce/stop leaks and help reduce noise levels noticably.
