I just want to give a shout out to Dave Sprinkle who is now making brand new TPS circuit boards for the 914 FI system.
This is seriously the best $35 I've spent on the 914 in as long as I can remember. It's a simple installation with the included instructions, and only took me about 30 minutes. After this, all of the jerkiness in the acceleration was gone just like that. A new TPS is NLA, and cost about $150+ last I checked when they were available. This $30 part restores the switch, so get one while you can. This will certainly keep me happy with my 2.0 until I have the time and $$ to convert to a 6! |

I installed the circuit board in Babydoll today and WOW, what a difference! No more bucking! This is the most awesome (and necessary) part I've seen in a long time. Thanks Dave! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
In other news, I'm so happy it came with 2 rivets. I promptly lost one in my kitchen and it still hasn't turned up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I'm glad you were able to use the spare rivet. That 3/32" rivet can be troublesome to source -- most hardware stores only carry 1/8". |
