I just used Chris Foley's excellent rebuild kit on my leaky MPS. After removing the spider webs and varnish it all went together nicely. Chris gave me some great tips on getting an initial set. I think it is there but I don't have any experience with how a well tuned djet 2.0 914 should run. I suspect there is probably 150k or so on this engine although it could be lower, I doubt higher unless it was cared for very very well. Impossible to know with the dead odometer. Compression is great on all cylinders with no variability.
I took a little video of a drive, start up, corners, and two pulls to 60 (of various quality). After the first 40 seconds I opened my sliding rear window so you can hear the engine sounds better. https://youtu.be/Fi4vFCWhlCw |

Yeah, as soon as I get it in a good spot I am going to record the inductance readings for future reference.
I reread everything pbanders had on operation of the MPS and all of the info Chris has given me and pulled it again this morning. 1) This time I started by loosening the inner screw all the way till it bottomed out on the outer screw. 2) I then adjusted the outer screw until I had the diaphragm range of motion that Chris suggests with his kit (movement stops a little before 7#). 3) I then adjusted the stop screw downwards until it just begins to move the diaphragm at 0#. Rinse and repeat a little on both 2 and 3. 4) I left the inner screw bottomed out and will tighten that alone at this point to taste (making it leaner if needed). Drove it to work. Runs great, feels a little richer. No bucking or strange partial throttle transitions. Will get it on the highway and check the plugs later. |
