Honk Honk!.... " yea, I know I am stalled out and blocking the intersection @$$H*L$" Options

[shredtherad]

Hello, hello! The new to me 914 is so rad! Love it... went out for a bit of cruise and about 20+ mins into the drive, while approaching a trafific light ( red ) the car came down to idle and that kept going and poof... stall. It did not start, I blocked the lane and angry SUV's and Tesla's honked at me. I did however get it going again after putting the pedal to the floor while starting and it fired up and drove fine, until... idle at the stop sign. Poof, stall. BUT this time pedal to the floor and fired right up.

Thoughts, where should I begin. I have attached a video of the issue... thanks! Beep Beep.

There is also an O’ring inside to seal the MPS case hallves
I’ve seen the oring crack also. But most likely it is the diaphragm

It can take a couple of hours to disassemble with a heat gun while getting the epoxy from the threads

Don’t force it
As it’s easy to damage the aluminum plug adjustment threads
Requires a discontinued wave tech meter or an AFR to readjust the mixture upon reassembling

Takes a lot of time to get it right
But on the plus side. It can be adjusted for todays fuel and more accurate than a stock one adjusted for the fuel available 50 years ago
