Unfortunately I own a 76 914 2.0 in California. I need to find a source for an air pump and check valve. I have only been able to find used/serviceable pumps and they last about a month +/- before they seize. The check valve is completely rusted through and it won't pass smog in its condition.
Does anyone have a contact that might have a serviceable pump and check valve or know where to have them overhauled? Thanks! I'm desperate because I can't register my car again without it! |

Make sure you fog some oil or WD-40 into the pump, and periodically spin it. Otherwise it will seize.
Sorry you have to deal with that. It's pretty crappy, but evidently the line has to be drawn somewhere. There was supposed to be a rolling exemption, but it was frozen at 73 for a few years, then bumped to 75 and older and has not moved in the many years since. Note that the exemption is from testing only, and that theoretically all of the older cars are still supposed to meet all of the standards, have all of the parts, and so forth. Probably done that way so that they can change their minds back later, and say "What--you were supposed to have the equipment all along, this isn't a change!" --DD |
