Did you just buy it and it never worked ?
Or was it working before and it stopped ?
Maybe share ...

100 C difference?!?
How much do you measure on each?

as stated above,
and to be sure fuel reaches the combustion chamber, remove the air intake, depress the accelerator, you should see/smell fuel being injected.
Then if ok, check you have sparks on your plugs by removing one and grounding the thread, (google this if you are not familiar with this ...

Last week I took my first real trip with my converted Pinz.
Everything went well! No problems with the Pinz.
I visited a forested area in northern Italy that was for sale and needed an off-road vehicle to get there. I asked the owner if I could stay overnight. It was a beautiful place, very quiet. I ...

now i already miss the hub steps i bought from you

BFGoodrich ALL Terrain T/A KO2
235/85 R16 120/116S 10PR RWL 3PMSF...

It ticks all the boxes i needed, and is ok for the 6.5 rim,
so only the Ford rim offset is slightly different (60) than the stock Pinz rim (~70)
But i should be able to ...

I'll present them the attached letter from Puch, hopefully that'll be enough ?
I would prefer to buy 255/85 R16, but i just can't find them in stock over here ...

With a metal thickness of the disk at 6.4mm while the hoop is 4.5mm.
The Pinz wheels are very heavy duty.

Engagement can't be better than a Pinz wheel with a 60 degree cone lug
unless the metal stock for the disk is thinner ...

I made the switch to Transit wheels and added my findings to this thread here.
