upload pictures of all your p6's

[Thijs Leuven]

Exactly. Another nice detail are some old stickers on the back window. The first owner was a doctor and he put some stickers on the back window explaining he was a docter, allowing him to park everywhere in case of an emergency. The best part about this is that I'm a medical student...

Beautiful picture, Thijs.
Nice touch the Blankespoor plate!

My P6- Photo taken recently....

Very atmospheric Luke, do the Munster family live in the house behind your car?

Haha John, they may well live there! I guess you could say i borrowed the drive way, took my photo, and continued Rovering, especially when i noticed the security camera's moving!

This is a shot taken from our living-room window (third floor) withour being planned.
Not at all correct technically, of course, and there are very many other pics of Jimmy that are VERY atmospheric ( ).
But we LOVE this shot for a number of reasons - not only for the British plates that we miss so much ... .

Einen schönen Abend noch !!

Heike, Jimmy und stefan

(I just remembered another pic.
Heike seems to spend LOADS of time looking out of the window - and planning shots when I am with another vehicle, for example the Heinkel Tourist: http://s1085.photobucket.com/albums/j42 ... lKlein.jpg ...)

That is a good shot Stefan. It is an unusual angle, conveys a sense of movement and shows off that Webasto very nicely.

Couldn't agree more a cracking pic of jimmy

... exactly what we think !

DANKE SEHR !!!

Hi Stefan . Great action shot . The only option i wish for is the hole in the roof , one day !
You could of warmed it up though and put the choke in

 

[rockdemon]

That looks really good doesnt it!

Hopefully we'll see Jimmy at Petworth

:shock: Surely not thinking of taking an angle grinder to your perfect looking vinyl roof?

I was waiting for somebody to notice !
SO embarrassing - although it should show that we were not prepared 8)
(Frankly: I still do not really know how to use choke - I am beginning to feel though that it can be put back VERY soon ! ... )

I would wish for ANYBODY to have a hole in the roof like that, so - GO AHEAD Stina !
But the thougt of the look and noise of that angle grinder in connection with yout P6 makes me twitch ... :shock: :?

Hi Stefan . If your carbs and choke are set up correctly then the first 1/8th in (or 4 to 5 of your metric milli miter things ) that you pull it out acts as a hand throttle only , mot enriching the mixture but giving it enough throttle to tick over until it warms through . I find mine needs choke for 30 secs or so then will tick over on the smallest of choke opening :wink:

No it doesn't, it's the other way around, the first bit is choke only, and then as you pull it out further it picks up on the fast idle cam. If it was the way you say then the fast idle screws would be on the choke cam permanently rendering the idle screws redundant. That said I've lost count of the ones where that's how they've been set up....

 

[transexl]

Danke !

I see that it´s time for another thread here :wink: ... !

(But we fully understand - and we were getting there !!
As Jimmy has had a rolling road test - DANKE, Chris and Colin !!! - he is an example of carb- and choke setting !!)

Oh yes :

or 4 to 5 of your metric milli miter things

:shock:

NO

We are sure you will and are SO looking forward to it !!!

Harvey, I know that we are moving quite off topic here, but i feel we should clarify a misunderstanding that goes on for years.
To the point. At least on HS carbs, where everything is easily visible, there is some built-in lost motion (i can't think of a better description at the moment) in the lever that lowers the jet. In effect, when you shart pulling the choke nothing happens, then the cam touches the fast idle screw giving (surprise!) only fast idle, and then the lost motion is overcomed and the jet starts to drop enriching the mixture. This procedure ties with the fast idle screw adjustment settings and the mention in the owner's handbooks about the "fast idle" facility with normal mixture strength as you start pulling the choke control knob.
While i cannot know what happens inside the HIF enrichment device, i pressume that there is a built-in similar delay that allows the existence of the fast idle feature for obvious reasons. After all, rich mixtures don't go well with normal idle speeds.

Harvey . As pointed out we are moving way off topic on this thread .
I was having a banter and saying how i've set my carbs up , and they have the facility to rise the tick over speed until the motor warms through as per the hand book without richening the mixture . After the initial start using the rich mixture setting ,( ie choke pulled right out . )
I was bought up giving big snorts of either to 14 liter diesels until they would start . I thought i had done rather well to set my motor up to run as she does , then you shoot me down in flames
Maybe you could post the definitive guide on setting up the twin HIF6 carb instillation , on a new thread .

That's not going to happen for two reasons, firstly I'm not going to take hours doing it, and secondly there are others who totally disagree with the way I do it and I'm not getting back into all that. Easiest way forward is for anyone who wants to know to look at the carbs (HIF6's not HS6's, because they were the type that prompted my original posting) and you can see how having the fast idle screws on the cam right from the start, means that they are in effect setting the idle speed. Look further and you'll see the mark on the cam which is the point at which the fast idle screws are supposed to make contact with them as the choke is pulled open, meaning that there is always an air gap at idle, allowing the idle screws to do the job they're supposed to.
