I have just spent the christmas holidays with family down in Brisbane, while I was down there I managed to get hold of some more new parts for my carb. the kit included new throttle valves ( butterflys) and bushes for the throttle vale shaft. I started rebuilding the carb when I got home. I took the...

Thank you for the replys, I will lower the octane rating the next time I have to fill the
tank, and as Garry said keep the back pocket happy.

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.

Dave

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

Dave

I have cleaned the carb and all the parts that go with it in a ultrasonic cleaner, so now its rebuild time or so I thought. 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 ...

Its good to see there are more Haflinger around the world

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...

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.

Dave

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.

Dave

A friend of mine showed up with this last week, he imported it from the UK.

Here is a few photos of the problems Ive found.

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...

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...

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...

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.

Dave

I finally got round to having the tyre fitted to the spare rim as per the photos.

Dave

Hi Gren_t

The bracket is for a small fuel can for the aid of starting the engine, as per the photo.

Dave

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.

Dave

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.

Dave

I had some made at a local pantographic shop for my rebuild.
