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

Wow - you guys are about two steps shy of proposing marriage!

Seeing Miles' work fills me with motivation. I wonder if he could fill my bank account, too?

My problems with plugs fouling were caused more by defective carburator float valves. The constant dripping of excess fuel generated a lot of gunk. Another symptom was, at times, a high idle caused by the rich fuel. Just as one of those routine Pinzgauer checkup items, have you verified that the acc...

That leads to what I have been advising people for years. The quickest and easiest way to improve the mileage of your vehicle is use Imperial gallons for the calculation. Guaranteed results, first time, every time!!!

Two Texans are talking:

--Why, I can git in my pick-up, start at one end of my ranch in the
mornin', drive all day, and not git to the other end 'till sundown

Erik,

When painting or applying POR-15 to the driveline components, is there any reason to not do the mating surfaces between the components? I realize the coating would have to be flat...so that the surfaces will be fluid tight with gasket cement...but I would think that the few thousandths of an inch ad...

Yep - Jim is the "tranny man." He did not get that nickname because of how he dresses!

I had a similar problem while driving the 712 home. Under the truck, where the bottom of the shift lever meets the tubular assembly that takes the action back to the transmission, there is a pin tying the two together. A small roll pin holds the larger pin in place. The roll pin was missing, and the...
