Re: Shock Coil spring clearance
Cups look OK to me. But now I am wondering if the Wheel drive housing is rotated off true position. The housing does separate from the diff and C-clamps to the diff axle tube -- there's an internal O-ring seal. If this is the problem it's been mis-aligned this way for a very long time. Which would m...

Shock Coil spring clearance
Just finished installing new Doetsch Shocks from EI on my 710K. Of note, and wondering if anyone else has had seen the following problem... The old shock removed from the front passenger side had so little clearance between the outer upper metal sleeve of the shock and the spring that it was worn th...

Re: Exhaust Flex Pipe
Fixed, but now I know why it broke and you may want to watch out too! My flex pipe split due to the Heat Exchanger hanger bolts stripping out resulting in the weight of the exchanger and muffler stressing the flex pipe. It was hard to see this as the bolts on top of the exchanger were in place and t...

Re: 710M For Sale
On topic, this gem is still at $11,5K with 9+ hrs to go, doesn't meet the min reserve. Looks like there's a number of auto bids in place. Again, if this were a 712, I'd loose my rational self and be all over it, would go nice under the tree -- well Redwoods. Oh, ya, 1975 is exempt in CA. Right here ...

Re: 710M For Sale
1975 and older are exempt in CA. The 1'st incarnation of the CA Smog laws were enacted in 1984, which were more restrictive. Yes, Jerry signed this into law at that time. However, there have been many changes since then that Pete and Arne signed into law. For instance, eliminating the 30 year rollin...

If this were a 712 I'd have my max bid locked and loaded by now.

Re: plug color
I've compared my plugs against this NGK article, somewhat subjective but might help. BTW, I'm about to do the same thing except the value don't sound like a tweak is necessary this time around, I also have the flex pipe and shocks to replace -- AND it finally stopped raining -- till Monday that is. ...

Re: Do you have some carburetor parts- 140 main jet, 60 runn
At 750' that's only a 3% drop in mmHg -- ain't gonna notice a difference.
Now if that's 750 Meters of altitude, then maybe 140's would be better.

Re: Who Can Do Complete Pinzgauer Restorations?
Not so! EI (Scott and crew) are E X T R E E M L Y dependable -- under normal operating conditions. It's just not normal conditions for them presently. If you have been reading the treads and Scott's WEB site, they had a move planned to new digs for several months, that's now done. But there were a f...

Re: Fuel Gauge not working
I love that 2'nd terminal! Saved the bacon several times. My gas gauge is custom; Fuel and Warning LED, as well as +12V and +24V meters. Fuel is a very nonlinear reading, sort of works. But when the LED goes on I've got 5 gallons left, nice to know in the boonies. Strongly recommend hooking this up....

Audiophile shops or Marine, both + and - terminals are available
with multi-terminal, various wire gauges. Good luck on U.S. made.
