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

Experience ... lol. I found that standard AGM batteries will work just fine in the Pinzgauer, but you have to handle the imbalance somehow, topping off, balancer, isolator, whatever system you want.

Also, don't expect them to last more than 4 years ... maximum. It happens that sometimes they'll go ...

I'm pretty sure Chickenpinz solution should work. If you pull one plug, the idle changes, then when you pull the hot pipe cylinder I'm betting the change will not be significant because it sounds like you have fuel mixture igniting inside the header. There's not a lot you can do that would be cheap ...

This entire discussion seems a little derailed.

A battery can throw 11.5 volts, or even 12.x, on a standard voltmeter and not be able to crank an engine. It's the amperage that counts most. If the battery is bad, and not showing obvious signs, the only real way to test it is under load. The ...

Exactly what Rmel said. Clean all the battery connections and the connections on the cuttoff switch with a wire brush. Also, the connectors between the batteries and the cutoff switch are made of metal mesh and they do age and corrode. They probably look like dark grey metal mesh. If you buy a $7 ...

I also wish I could help on this, but I have never taken that apart. I need to grease mine as it sounds like it's completely dry from 1st to 2nd and sometimes 2nd to 3rd.

I gave some injured veterans a ride home from the VA car show a number of years ago. They all thought that there was no lubrication in the transmission because it was so noisy. I'm not sure they believed me when I told them I had literally just changed all the fluids about 3 months prior. There's ...

Damn! That is easily the best cover I have ever seen. Where can I get one??? It beats the hell out of the Swiss Army logo blanket I lay across the center.

You could always replace the shielded wire with a standard one just for timing, then swap them back again.

This string covers a lot of the issues. One major one is that your mount might be cracked. The new starters put out a lot more torque than the OEM, and if your mount is cracked you cannot see it unless it is under torque. The rubber holds the pieces from bending so far as to break. So, you possibly ...

Just be sure when you replace them you use NEW bolts. Those are supposedly 1-time use bolts. When you tighten them you tighten them to the torque in the book, and then you go another 1/4 turn to stretch the bolt. At least, that was my understanding.

I haven't seen this subject in quite a long time. A lot has to do with the wheel stud holes. If you are getting new wheels, contact hummerproducts.com and check to see their lug nuts. If the holes in your wheels need to be adjusted, it might help. We used an extruded/extended thread stud. Has been ...

I just bought an inexpensive analog/digital one for $75 on Amazon. It's nice because it has a digital display which allows me to retard or advance the flash exactly whatever amount I want. So I set the light and then match up the marks exactly on each other. Do a search for "Innova 3568 Digital ...

The biggest drawback to the OEM ignition is that is costs a freakin' ton of cash to replace if you have a failure. Most of us have an OEM with wires, etc. sitting in a bag somewhere, but replacing them is still expensive because they never make it to market. The Pertronix, a set of cables, and a new ...

Exhaust is pretty much straight forward. Are you talking about the flex joint? The motion of the Pinzgauer and thus the muffler and the relative stiffness of the headers bolted to the head requires that flex piping just before the muffler. You can buy one at https://swissarmyvehicles.com . They ...

Although Pinzgauer gears are noisy, you might be sure of a couple things. I'm not sure you have a real issue there and it could be engine or gears, depending on whether you are accelerating or slowing down.

1. Make sure your oil is right enough for your climate. You don't mention weather or ...
