Re: Oil dripping from pan

On the drivers side is the cylinder side so there are several possibilities.
But a pix of the area would help.

Re: Lean mixture

I assume MOT stuck their probe up the exhaust pipe. So any air leak in the exhaust system is also a possibility for a high Lamda reading. Exhaust header, coupler from header to heat-exchanger, lot of parts in that path that might be worn or loose. Then the heat-exchanger itself or muffler. Look for ...

Re: Lean mixture

Yikes! That's an AFR = 20.58 mighty lean. And if so, not a healthy condition. If true there are a number of possible things that could result in a high Lamda, possibly a bad vacuum leak. Do you have a high idle? Is it difficult to start or runs rougher than in the past at idle or at RPM? Check all p...

Re: Distributor to coil cable assembly?

Try Puch.at, they will ship to the USA. A little cumbersome to make the transaction but they are very responsive. https://www.puch.at/en/products-&-spare-parts/pinzgauer/pinzgauer-petrol-710-712-(austrian-army)/electrical-equipment/ignition-system/21116_12616_shop_IGNITION-CABLE-COMPL.aspx?LNG=en

Re: Vapor Lock

I have little choice but to run E10 gas. It's a matter of practical convince. Almost W/O exception that's what your friendly gas stations sell. I've looked for pure-gas https://www.pure-gas.org/ and the options are spartan. At least I am running summer blend. E10 does bump up the Reid Vapor Pressure...

Re: Vapor Lock

To answer Vince's question -- idling before turning the motor off might reduce Vapor lock due to heat soak. I say might because it all depends on the circumstances; idle RPM effects air flow, your current elevation, ambient temp, and fuel your using. But, when your on a very steep grade, need to jum...

Re: High Water

I would expect Puch would have done a worse case analysis; truck loaded to max
and a wee bit of additional margin.

Kind'a don't want water hitting the fan or Ignition components.

Re: New Owner of a 710M. Looking forward to learning a lot!

The engine compartment of a Pinz can get pretty stressful for an electric fuel pump. Ironically worse after you turn the motor off and airflow stops. Some pumps can take a beating, most can't. If your pump is located near where the mechanical pump was I strongly suggest you move it out of the engine...

Re: Tipping Point

They can get tippy... Pretty narrow Track at 57" versus a stock JK at 62" for example. Somewhat high center-of-gravity due to relatively high clearance with Portal axles. The K's are more tippy than the M's -- just a bit more weight with more steel above the central tube. Generally, you ju...

Vapor Lock

I had an interesting case of Vapor Lock on my Carb'd 712 that initially surprised me. Turned out to be a classic case of heat soak. Some context, I have a Hardi 24V electric fuel pump, located external to the engine about center line of the tank, well within the siphoning limit of this diaphragm pum...

Re: Battery going dead

I actually mistakenly referred to DF when I meant D+ !! There are two outputs from the alternator, D+ and B+. B+ is the high current output to charge the battery. D+ on the other hand is monitored by the regulator to control the amount of current on the "DF" the field winding to output mor...

Re: Battery going dead

The Alt light could appear to be working normally as long as your Battery is at least 18V AND the DF output from the Alternator is good AND there is a good connection to the regulator. Though if you look at the bulb you may see it very dimly lit. What lights the Alt lamp up is the difference in volt...
