Re: repairing a choke cable

I am not sure that ordinary solder / plumbers solder will have enough mechanical strength - might work a couple of times, but it will fail very soon after you have done the repair.

Re: Lost compression to #1, but no clue what the issue is

If the rings and bore are okay, then probably you have a fault in the cylinder head. A crack or a valve(s) not sealing properly. Check by filling the combustion chamber with petrol and see if you are getting any petrol on the other side of things. I.e. in the inlet or exhaust tracts. Also for crack ...

Re: Intro from Malaysia - WR7002 - C304

The truck looks amazing. Near to the point where you can drive it.... After all this time, you are going to wonder if you have finished everything and when you can actually call it finished!

Re: UPDATES on the forum

Have similar problems on my website. Busy waiting for the hosting company to update the software on their backend so I can update the software facing the public.

Oh, the trials and tribulations we go through for others...... :D

Re: EFI on a haffie?

Everybody would like someone to do it first, rather than be the first to do it. I think it would be a good idea if you could get it to work correctly without a lot of either mechanical issues (e.g. manifold flange adapter plate), or software tuning issues. Getting the mixture right might involve qui...

Re: 716 Prince Philip salute

Weird that they have shiny chrome bumpers - I thought military didn't have sparkly bits as they give away their position.

Re: Fitting a winch

Factory winch is very rare, so you are not very likely to come across a Haflinger with the PTO and a winch on it. 37843725_1863705490318896_4522202964680507392_n.jpg Standard engine (643cc) will work with either 13 or 14 inch wheel if you keep the outside diameter close to the original 12 inch wheel...
