Re: revving to red line...... help

Thanks for the responses! After some investigation it looks like I forgot to lock tite the pump rods. As I accelerated away from my stop they spun open and continued to hold the throttle open! Live and learn!

revving to red line...... help

So a while back I rebuilt the carbs and did a valve job and got everything running tip top. Then it ended up sitting for about 8 months as it needed a new clutch and I was starting a business. Finally got the clutch in and went for a shake down drive. I let it warm up and it idled well the whole tim...

Towing my Pinz

Any one ever tow their Pinz behind truck/RV? I'm thinking that pulling it behind my Sprinter Van is a way better option than putting it on a trailer to get from Montana to the desert. My main concern is wear on the drive train. Thoughts?

Re: Blown headlight relay

Thanks guys! Shortly after I posted I received an email from EI about the new mufflers being ready so I'm spending more money anyway and I'll just tag it on the order!

Blown headlight relay

So while I'm alright at things mechanical I'm kind of an electrical idiot. I've never had brights on my pinz and have tracked this down to a blown relay, copper filament was obviously burnt upon inspection. I'm also kinda cheap and having just put a gear reduction starter (which is AWESOME!) in I'm ...

Re: Leaky locker switch plate

Thanks for the help guys! I think I've got it figured out, just the o-ring on the switch. I don't know how I'm going to drain the extra fluid out of the lockers outer housing but it will be a good adventure!

Leaky locker switch plate

So I'm new to the whole Pinz world and pretty stoked to be here, but I'm finding that things I thought were going to be simple can get a little complex! In an effort to get things tightened up on my 710m I'm changing fluids and doing gaskets at the same time. So this evening after draining the rear ...
