Hi!
In another thread, I was mentioning that I wanted to convert my '73 914 2L FI to carbs, because my MPS does not hold vacuum anymore. Some people are making me think twice, and I am now wondering what would be the best solution. The MPS is no longer available new... at least here, because I've seen it for sale on a European site for a ridiculous price, more than 800 Euros. I read that it is possible to get it rebuilt, but that the material used for the rebuilt is not the same as the original, and the result is not perfect. Still, I would like to hear from people using rebuilds. Where did they get there rebuilt done. Are they working fine? How much is it to get an MPS rebuilt? Another solution would be to buy a used one. Anyone has a clue of where I could find a good 037 MPS? And how much I should pay or it? Cheers! JF '73 914-4 2.0L FI |

If your unit has already failed, why not take it apart? It's possible it just might need to be resealed. Take note of the orientaion of all the parts as you disasemble it. You should be able to tell if the diaphram is torn. I used a very thin layer of grey permatex with great success when I had a new rebuilt unit fail after 3 months. Good luck.
If your diaphram has a slight tear, maybe try something on it to seal it. Nothing to loose to by doing so. |

Hi Tod!
I just checked Permatex's website... Which product did you use? And what did you use it for? Was it as sealant or to fix a crack in the diaphragm? Cheers!
