Hi!
In another thread, I was mentioning that I wanted to convert my '73 914 2L FI to carbs, because my MPS does not hold vacuum anymore. Some people are making me think twice, and I am now wondering what would be the best solution. The MPS is no longer available new... at least here, because I've seen it for sale on a European site for a ridiculous price, more than 800 Euros. I read that it is possible to get it rebuilt, but that the material used for the rebuilt is not the same as the original, and the result is not perfect. Still, I would like to hear from people using rebuilds. Where did they get there rebuilt done. Are they working fine? How much is it to get an MPS rebuilt? Another solution would be to buy a used one. Anyone has a clue of where I could find a good 037 MPS? And how much I should pay or it? Cheers! JF '73 914-4 2.0L FI |

Hey JF, the product I used is the Permatex Ultra grey RTV 599BR gasket maker. What's nice about it, you can use brake cleaner to remove it, if you ever need to reseal it again. Looks like they have quite a few epoxies on their site, which might be good for the diaphram. Fuel Inj Corp uses grease around the diaphram to seal it. For some reason it didn't hold the seal too long on the one I purchased.
You can run a very thin amount on both sides of the diaphram (side to the paper gasket & side to the metal plate), and also on both case halfs. Should do the trick if the diaphram is good. |
