From my 1974 1.8
Just got my TB back from a total rebuild. Came out really nice. Done by a machinist on the Samba user name whip618 does really nice work. Machined with bearings and seals, new Pivot shaft, new Butterfly, over bored, rebuilt TPS, All fresh cad plating, machined mounting surfaces. Pressure tested. I just put it in today, but have not had time to try it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Also a new seal by 914 Rubber. Will post follow up. Attached thumbnail(s)

I would also be interested.
My main issue is that the throttle is 'sticky' in the closed position and so it is difficult to control the throttle smoothly. I have looked closely at it but, as yet, I have been unable to identify the offending element. Even holding it in your hand (and after generous lubrication) you can feel it stick at full closed position and have that 'snap' feel as the throttle is opened I am interested how the throttle performs after the rebuild. Was it a new return spring? Contact details of your rebuild man would be great. Nice looking piece of kit |
