Re: When to check engine oil level (filter drainback?)

I'm finding that the engine oil level creeps up over time after shutdown, and am suspecting that it's due to the oil draining slowly out of the filter into the crankcase.

Re: Leads on basically shipping a Pinz coast to coast?

I have seen pick up and drop off locations, what is your time frame ?
Is the truck ready for a long distance trip ?
I might be tempted to drive it across the states for you :-)

Re: Ring Gear Replacement.

I removed the gearbox, took off the flywheel and it was easy to get the gear ring off. I put the flywheel on a su...

Re: Misc Carbs questions

Kelvin The finer the sanding paper you use, the better the result. When I redid my carbs I sanded all mating surfaces, i.e. head to body, body to throttle assy and choker. you correctly identified the location of the metric nuts I mentioned. I used philips head screws M6 x 40 to connect throttle ass...

Re: Misc Carbs questions

Kelvin Your float level is way too low. If you cannot remove any shims underneath the float valve, simply bend the center piece of the float to adjust the height. The NDIX floats consist of two buoyancing elements, which have to move independently. Purpose is to keep the fuel level correct as the lo...

Re: VW Jetronic mechanical fuel injection swap

AudioNW As far as I can tell you create replacement pieces for the carburators and install the injectors there. The pic from Joeri shows the injectors much closer to the inlet valves. I would machine down the inlet manifolds to create a flat surface, and cast small injector holders that can be bolte...

Re: cylinder cup and seal

I have used that approach for brake cylinders on the front axle. They have the bleeding connector facing inwards and another smaller pipe connecting both cylinders. I took an old piece of brake pipe and soldered a grease nipple to the other end. So I was able to use the full pressure of the grease g...

Re: Headlights not working on Austrian 712K

Lads the relais gets triggered on connectors 15 and 31 . So if you disconnect them and insert a bulb you can verify the light switch part of the indicator lever is ok. now I assume you have 24 volts on both input connectors, 56 and 81a. 81a has got to be active with main power on and fuse 9 ok,56 is...

They have no locking lugs in their offerings.
