1959 DKW AU 1000 with 6 Volt fuel pump as a replacement for the mechanical pump

DKW AU 1000 von 1959 mit 6 Volt Benzinpumpe als Ersatz für die mechanische Pumpe
The 1959 DKW AU 1000 has a 6-volt electrical system.

The standard installed fuel pump is mechanically driven by pressure.

To replace this mechanical fuel pump, our customer from Denmark installed a 6-volt fuel pump .

The mechanical pump was decommissioned after installation.

The engine to be supplied is a 3-cylinder in-line engine.

This runs as a 2-stroke. The engine has a displacement of 981 cm³.

The maximum output of 55 hp is available at an engine speed of 4500 rpm.

The DKW AU 1000 thus reaches a top speed of 140 km/h.

The four-speed gearbox is operated via a steering column gearshift.
