Hi 914 World,
I heard today that that there might be some threads or videos on the process of removing the fresh air inlet box and fan/engine and just thought I'd ask if you all know where they are? My plan is to replace the fuel tank & lines and while I'm in there to refurbish the air box & fan/engine. The fan unit currently doesn't work, but I heard that a good cleaning is what most of them need. Thanks for any help, Ross |

My blower motor stopped suddenly, so as part of the while-I'm-in-there cleaning and sealing my fuel tank, I pulled the blower box. Took everything apart and found the blades wouldn't turn by hand. Further disassembly, all the way down to the bare motor, found a tiny rock had somehow found its way inside, between the coils and magnets! Once it was removed, the motor now turns freely.
Now to get it all back into the car! |
