I'm in the middle of chasing a "typical" warm rich idle problem and I noticed my MPS part # is different that any listed on Paul Anders' website. Is this really critical? I ask because i've been spending the past 2 weekends looking for vacuum leaks & electrical shorts/breaks to no scuccess. (but thats not to say i'm totally convinced i dont have any). Now i'm confused as to where i should direct my attention.
I have a '73 1.7 and currently my MPS is: Bosch # 0 280 100 007 VW # 311 906 051 C RUSS (oh yeah, i am confident my timing and valves are set) |

yeah, I have one of those sitting in a box. Looks like a real early 1.7L one to me. Maybe has a different spring tension, who knows as I haven't had time to check it yet.
The 049 is the correct MPS for a 1.7L 73 914. I can try to get to it tomorrow and see what is different. I am all oily from finishing the gear swap out in my tranny, sorry As for the rich idle, check your MPS for holding 15hg of vacuum for 5 minutes. If its a leaker that could be your problem Geoff |
