THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Was cleaning out my spare set of carbs and noticed some minor differences to the stock Swiss Army carb's.

The internal choke plate disc has considerably smaller holes.
Also the throttle adjust arm and screw is located higher.
All these parts are shown in the Parts Catalog but indicated as not for this model (Meaning, not Swiss Army)


One small difference intside the carb base, behind the fuel cutoff solenoids, there are 4 small holes instead of the 2 on the standard carbs. As represented in the Parts cataloge as Y version.

The front reads PU, but it did have what was left of the light red model tag. This apears to be High altitude carbs due to the restricted air holes in the choke plate.


These were jetted with high altitude jets.

Anyone know for sure what I got.

It's a newer version, I find them a lot on 75 and newer Pinzgauers.
Also of note, 712 carbs are jetted different than 710 carbs due to increased load capacity.(jet sizes are in general specs)

Thanks Jim, The size of the holes on the choke plate made me wonder if it was for the pinz or not.

This set of carbs has:
125 Main Jet
170 Air Correction
55 Idle Jet
110 Idle Air Jet
80 Pump Jet

I live in las Vegas, elevation about 2100 ft.

I can switch out the jets from my other carbs (bases being rebushed):
140 Main Jet
230 Air Correction
60 Idle Jet
130 Idle Air Jet
80 Pump Jet

Nice job on cleaning up the carby bodies Miles.
Did you "Scotchbite" them ?

I've just got an old body in the glass bead blaster but I think I'd prefer a less matt finish.....I'm thinking of trying walnut husks or something equivalent maybe.

Profpinz....Thanks, they were covered in a thick layer of oil and dirt when I got them, but for $100.00 I was happy to put a few days into cleaning them up and rebuilding them. The shafts are tight and included the 4 shutoff valves.

I let them soak over night in carb dip, and then soaked in a cleaning degreaser for 24 hrs, cleaned with a brush and a fine steel wool pad. Finally to make sure all the cleaner and solvent were removed they were immersed in a sonic cleaner filled with hot water and cleaning solution. Flushed with clear water in the sonic cleaner and blown out with air.
