One issue you could experience is vapor lock.

For the most part, not while running but after you turn off your engine.
Then your intake pants could get heat-soak from the cylinders/heads
(very hot and not airflow). If the pants get hot enough it becomes very
hard to start the engine until they ...

There is very little difference between the color schematic and a K.

However, I do have a K schematic (Funkkommandowager) I can email you
if your interested.

Ah!! These goodies are now under a new index on the WEB site "Direct Sales"

Thanks for pointing that out Paul.

Hmmm, glad I bought s couple of spares a few years ago when they were available.

There may be close substitutes. Look on eBay, 20mm 2-pin Military connector.
They will all be twist lock. You'll need to replace the Females in the chassis mount.

I've never had to remove the struts on my K Table so not absolutely sure.
But I would bet these are captive nuts given all the other body locations
that are. Rivnuts could be your best friend.

Never liked the Carb Solenoids on that circuit.

Well, back to the horn thing. One common problem is the
potential for the Horn switch in the steering wheel to short
to the column. I had that problem a couple of times. I ended
up putting some shrink tubing on the center terminal.

There should be no ...

A compression test is pretty easy to do and will tell you if there's
an issue. I've had two cases of Exhaust value recession where
compression was zip on one cylinder.

The best test is a Leak down Test -- if you have a Air compressor.
This will isolate an issue between Intake, Exhaust, and Rings ...

Well IMHO that's a great price for this truck. And Jim L. serviced this one.

** If anyone out there is sitting on the fence jump on this **

BTW if you are experiencing some sudden backfiring (or post-ignition).
Check your timing, may have slipped. Possibly the Distributor clamp was
loose or the ...

I don't own one but would seriously consider a 2'nd gen Pinz if it could be titled in my local :((

I'd be less concerned about reliability and more concerned about parts availability and who's
going to service the rig for any major repairs such as drive line components. I believe both the ...

Ditto...$100 here as well.
I consider it my annual subscription

Didn't know I had a copy of the Austrian version schematic, attached. It's simple !

On the Swiss version the front and rear turn signals are separated and essentially a dual circuit
for front and rear and two blink sources from the hazard switch.

The Austrian is one circuit for left and one ...

Oh! The Austrian turn signal switch is simpler.

The Swiss turn signal switch is way more complicated than need be :((
They are a PITA to debug.

But...check your connections back to the Emergency switch, should be two wires.
A Black/Purple and a Black/Green. These lines provide the "blinking" power to the
turn switch. Could just be a loose or ...

Yup, that's your problem. You might get recovery flushing the hell out of
the circuit. It is also possible the slave cylinder is toast the black could
be the gasket material.

As long as there is no corrosion internally the cylinders are easily re-built.

The original cylinders were chrome plated ...

Check the clutch fluid reservoir, low or discolored ?
Might have a bad seal in the master or slave cylinder
and not holding pressure or fully actuating, air in there
possibly.

Sitting for so long you need to replace all fluids anyway.
