Dennis, Thanks for the detailed instructions. I'm hanging on every word and have some questions. Both of my carbs have brass throttle shafts with about .5mm of play measured along the shaft and a slight amount of play "up and down" within the bore. Reading previous posts, this play is exce...

I went and double checked the air-intake flap and it is in the "loose" or variable position. This is actually the position that allows warm air in and should compensate for lower temps. Mine only locks into an open position and according to the manual the flap is only fixed if the temps ar...

Ditto for me. A month ago it was running great, then 2 weeks ago it was running rough and wouldn't hold an idle, yesterday it was running great again and then when I pulled into the garage after driving around it wouldn't idle again. I was planning to rebuild the carbs during Xmas anyway, but I was ...

I was just looking at this one last night. It's expensive since it's from Switzerland, but it might give you ideas for the mount. I can't remember if SAV or EI make one too.

Have you checked Mcmaster.com for weatherstripping profiles? They have a lot of versions. Or, can the profile be used for another part of the Pinz? Would it be able to seal the area on an M where the top rolls over the metal body? I'd like to seal that up better and it would take a lot linear feet. ...

That's a good source. It's also fun to look at www.ebay.de or www.ebay.ch, which is ebay germany and ebay switzerland, and type in Pinzgauer. I haven't searched ebay austria yet. Right now there are some of the elusive warm weather door tops going for 99 euro each on the german one- and they're NOS.

We finally have a few inches of snow in town. Hopefully I'll get out to play this weekend. Great looking Pinz by the way- I really like the "swiss post auto" color scheme

This system looks more interesting to me- http://www.retrotekspeed.com/products/nostalgia-throttle-bodies/2x2-tb-kit/ They look like they'd be similar size to the carbs and could probably bolt to the existing intakes with a simple adapter plate. The system might gain a few mpg and get rid of the not...

Thanks Jim

I was wondering if that would work. Does it have to be grounded any differently? Can you add other 12v items this way too?

Timing Light with 24v

I was wondering how you guys hook up your timing lights to the 24v system. Mine is an Actron digital one and I don't want to burn it up. It looks like it isn't rated for 24v. Do you hook it up like normal? Do you have a spare battery or other 12v source? Thanks

I couldn't get the videos to play. Anyway, the earlier comment about letting the engine breathe better has me very interested to see what you're coming up with. Better exhaust, Port and polished heads? hi ratio rockers?

Thanks

I also spoke to CWR a few months ago and was going to buy the tool when it was about $30. Patrick told me that the tool wasn't necessary and about the fuel level and that the tool could be made with some simple clear fuel line and a fitting. I have the fuel line, but no fitting. My rebuild kits shou...

This is the tool I'm looking to duplicate-

I found some good information about the fuel level in the bowl here-

Is this a common tool in Europe?

Did anyone figure this one out?

Did you ever figure out a source for a hollow M7 thread? Or, has anyone made their own float tool? I was going to find a tapered piece of plastic to push into some clear fuel line and thread into the carb. Maybe something high-tech like a pen cap? Also, I was told that the correct float level is eve...
