Hello, I could get a DKW F11 and ask myself what is to be considered during the test drive / inspection? I know my technique and love to screw it up and repair it but what is to be considered specifically?

DKW Munga
Hello guys, I’m new here in the oldtimer forum and on behalf of a colleague here. It’s especially about a car union DKW Munga with a Wartburg engine (2-stroke). The current main problem is to connect the gearbox to the engine. However, since the engine is not original, the output coil must be stored extra in order to be connected to the gearbox without any play. Furthermore, help is needed when adjusting the ignition, since corresponding make-up on the engineblo ck, or missing the flywheel. For help and hints of any kind I thank already in advance. Christian

Summer Toy Boxster – search for arguments
A former student colleague (same age as me … somewhere between BurnOut, Midlife-Crisis and heart attack) is looking for a summer toy. After the children are out of the house, a two-seater without a roof is enough – but with sufficient luggage compartment, that you can drive to the WE. There are about 30 k€ available. After there is a whole bunch of possibilities in the room (Z4, MR2, MX5, etc.) I try to convince him of a “small Zuffenhausener”. Maybe you can help me and provide me with some convincing arguments. TIA, Tom

strange problem with the taps
Hello together, I drive an older Wowa from Fendt (1994) and always have a strange phenomenon with my faucets. When I get the good piece from the hibernation, or after a longer service life on vacation all faucets work without problems whether warm or cold (kitchen, bath). So after 2 to 3 days I notice this gradually the time between the famous “click” of the taps and the jump-in of the pump takes longer and longer, so that after 4-5 days usually either d the warm or cold water does not work at all. At the beginning I had still thought the cocks would be defective, because Wowa already older, so that the oldest cock is now 2 and the other about 1 year old. But it can’t actually lie there or ?? Only exchange at the cock 🙂 Does anyone have another idea ?? I exclude the pump, because so far a cock has always worked fully.

Repair plastic point welding of the front flap (gas bottle mounting)
Hello, The front flap on the gas bottle mounting consists of two plastic parts in my hobby from 1997 which are connected all around all 30cm with plastic cones and then have been welded with a kind of soldering iron on the inside. Three or four cones have already been broken up at the top. That is, the inside plastic covering claps and does not pull the outer part completely in the closed state. This also allows water to run in. I have now thought about whether I would drill a small 3mm hole next to it (i.e. next to the old cones) and then connect the two parts with blind rivets again. Is this stable enough? I have a known who did the whole thing with special glue or resin, but what has been done again and again by the shocks. How do you do that? mfg Wolfgang

Briggs & Stratton Carburettor Problem
Hello dear agricultural machinery mechanic, I have the following problem, dealing with lawn mower Swing 40B with the standard carburetor In cold condition after 3x pumps the lawn mower starts immediately, runs round and runs out after ~5min, afterwards after repeated pulling does not start again. If I again 3-5 times pump then it starts again without problems, runs for a few minutes and goes out again just as wrinkling. Carburetor I have cleaned several times with carburetor cleaner, inlet tube and V Entile cleaned, soot freed, tank completely cleaned. Seal under the carburettor as new. Even when buying it was not as clean as now! Why is no gasoline mixture sucked in automatically? How could I check that?
