I started rebuilding the carb when I got home. I took the...

What grade of fuel does everyone use, I have always used 98. Is it worth the extra money using the top grade
for the Haflinger engine.

Garry, John. Thankyou for the photos, the book is obviously wrong. I can now put it back as it originally was.

Re: spark plugs

I got the parts book out ( page 1 40.0)and the first thing I noticed was the abutment plate is shown fitted on the pump valve side which is opposite to how mine was originally ...

Re: spark plugs
Hi Garry. Suggested to use 115 mainjet. (based on tropical conditions and low altitude – may not be appropriate for Canberra but needs to be able to operate in varied conditions). I have looked in the workshop manual, and quote as it is written. Main jet 2 x 110 (for tropical regions and altitudesup...

Re: spark plugs
The carb body arrived yesterday arvo. I thought it would take longer. (Fedex)
UK - Aus 6 days,
Victoria(Aus) - Cairns 3days
I need to borrow a ultrasonic cleaner from a friend of mine to clean up all the parts.
unless someone can suggest a better way of doing it.

Re: A little bit bigger than my Haflinger
He took it for a road worthy and he had to remove the blue hazard lights and a couple of other bits, he did mention about converting it.

Re: spark plugs
I have managed to locate a replacement body for the carburettor but its in the UK, the upside is it is free I just have to pay postage. The down side is it will probably be a few weeks before I receive it. I removed the lower cast part from the carb, only to find more problems. The brass butterfly d...

Re: spark plugs
I am still having same problems, so I decided to remove the carb and check if any of the parts had been replaced when it was refurbished. The first thing I noticed was one of the threads on the body that hold the top cover down was stripped. I removed the top cover to find the where one of the air c...

spark plugs
My Haflinger has the shielded type spark plugs from the military configuration. I find that every so often the plug on the drivers side ( RHD) fails, I take it out and it is oily/wet, this happens when I start the engine and it only fires on 1 cylinder. I don't usually use the choke as temperature's...

Re: Wanted Front Springs
I have jacked the rear end up and the approximate length of the springs on my Lwb
are 220mm, so they are the same length as the shorter one in the photo.

Re: Wanted Front Springs
Hi Garry - Thank you, glad I could help
I have just had a look at the parts book, for the springs on page 4 01/0 no 13, 13a, 13b. I wonder if you have the springs for a Iwb.
I must admit I don't know which springs are on my Lwb, I will try to measure them when I get time.

I was talking to my daughters father in law. last night. he said, I can have as many sets as I want for free.
If any one wants a set they would only cost you delivery freight to your address.
