Re: Main frame central tube - - lubrication ?

Do you have the Haflinger workshop manual and the Haflinger Owners Manual? It is on page 4 of the Owners Manual - Centre Tube .5litre transmission oil SAE 90. I tried to attach the documents but they are too large for this site. This is one of the design gems that seem to populate the Haflinger vehi...

Re: Looking for belts for the Haflinger dyna-starter

Take an old one to any auto parts supplier and they will match it - put the old one on the measure to see what size it is and match.

Re: Spark Plug Equivalents

There are lots of spark plug cross reference sites on the internet - google "spark plug cross reference chart" and lots of sites will come up.

Re: New Tires 315/75r16

I would be wary about putting 315 wide tyres on less than 8" rims. I have BFG KO2 MTs 315/75R16 on my LR Forward Control which has 8" wide rims - while they fit OK, they do balloon out a bit - on my vehicle I run 32psi on the highway as it seems the best compromise - offroad down to 10psi ...

Re: New Tires 315/75r16

Dont put tubes into tubeless tyres - for a start if you do get a puncture it is harder to repair as the tyre and wheel needs to come off - in many cases a tubless tyre can be repaired on the vehicle. Also, tubless tyres have ribs on the inside of the carcass that wear through the tube causing failur...

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Unfortunately no. I have had my Haflinger for 7 years and in that time I have not ever seen another one on the road and only sighted another one once parked in a yard 300km away - even the local carb rebuilders do not know the Zenith NDIX. I am afraid I live in an automotive backwater. I do have a m...

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Up to now the engine would run - just not well. Last week it was difficult to start but finally did but ran very poor. On checking the cylinder on the right hand side was cold indicating the engine had just been running on one cylinder. Some sort of ignition problem. Today I needed to move the Hafli...

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Thanks Jim and John - I appreciate your input. Time to pull the carb down and put a kit through it.

Cheers

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Just a thought, How restrictive is your exhaust system? You could buy a "colortune" kit which has a special spark plug with a clear window in it to allow you to see the colour of the combustion flame, and then obviously to see what happens when you make adjustments. John Same exhaust so n...

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Garry, Is your Haflinger equipped with the small cyclone pre-cleaner between to two scuttle vents on the nose of the truck? If no carburetor adjustment has been made but the air/fuel ration is now universally rich, the only thing that comes to mind is reduced air flow upstream from the carburetor v...

Re: NDIX Carb Mixture

Hi Jim - yes they are also sootie. Have changed the coil, put in new plugs, temporarily removed the pertronix and went back to points and re-timed and the new plugs sooted up almost immediately. The plugs do have good spark though.

NDIX Carb Mixture

On the NDIX carb, idle mixture can be adjusted via the idle mixture screws at the front of the carb. Mixture throughout the rest of the rev range is determined by fixed jets which have to be changed out if changes to the mixture are needed. My engine is running rich, no choke needed to start on cold...

Re: Ian's TGB13 6x6 (Australia)

Yes all interesting stuff - there is a company in Coffs Harbour that is putting the 3.2 litre 5 cylinder Duratorg diesel engine out of the Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 into Defenders so have managed to get the ECU to run stand alone. The other good engine is the old Mazda 3.? diesel out out their small tr...
