Perfect! Thanks for your time!

Thanks, I will check that. FWIW, the truck is Austrian. But, a loose connection makes sense.

I am also looking at installing A/C. I have an Austrian 712K with two cabinets on the sides at the rear. I have a generator that will power the A/C and be handy for other things. The generator is dual fuel and the truck already has a propane bottle mounted in lieu of one of the Jerry Cans on the ...

I just replaced the turn signal switch on the steering column because it would not return to center and I could get no flash on the right side. New switch clicks as it should but still no right side flash. Suggestions appreciated.

Ok, I replaced the plug on carb 1 the other night and am happy to report that the truck is running like a champ. Maybe, better than ever. I think that plug had been leaking a long time and it may be something others may want to check on their own trucks.

As posted earlier here is what I found as I ...

Got your pictures as PDFs and was able to open them by downloading and opening with Adobe. And yes, you are correct, that is the opening and I think it where the super rich condition was coming from. I think the vacuum was acting with the hole and was pulling fuel up to flood everything. All was ...

Well, now I have a new twist for you. My announcement was shortly after a test run with the intake manifold and air cleaner off. When I put the truck completely back together she fell on her face as soon as you pushed the accelerator with any real authority. So, I decided to start form zero with a ...

Cool!

Tjerk,
I have concluded its not a sticky valve; but is instead, simple jealousy. See, I bought a G Wagon last spring with the idea that the G would become my Hunt Club and Beach truck. That would allow me the time to do some heavy maintenance on the Pinz. I Think the Pinz got jealous of me brining ...

Hello Heinz,
I went through each of the things that you suggested and it was the float valve. Specifically it was sticking both open and closed. Open enough to turn the plugs black at one turn. And then today when I went to measure the float levels the float balls were completely empty! So I just ...

Hello Heinz and thanks for your post. I agree, its getting fuel from somewhere even with the mixture needles closed. I rebuilt these carbs about a year and a half ago. Perhaps I reassembled the choke incorrectly on number 1 although I would have thought the problem would have appeared before now ...

I been having issues with engine performance when accelerating away from a stop and on the highway. When pulling away the truck shook and felt like a slipping clutch. On the highway I could not match my normal top speed with a few seconds of smooth running followed by a few seconds of rough. To ...

welcome aboard! Impressive work!

Thank you Paul.

I'm working on treating some rust along the bottom of my ex-swiss G Wagon and I need to get the trim off the lower body. I'm hesitating before I get in there with a prying tool...
Thanks!
