I broke the plug to my idle control valve. I bought a new plug housing. Easy. But I’ve had a devil of a time finding the right socket pins for the housing. Several weeks have been stalled waiting for 80 cents worth of pins that show up and are the wrong size. So, knowing the 914 has to drive next weekend, I went full DACO and soldered a pigtail of wires into the ICV and then crimped them into place. About to find out if it works, and will continue to work for a couple weeks while I sleuth out the right sockets for the plug Wish me luck! Zach |

You can ream out that shaft bushing in the TB and press in a new bronze one if you're getting a poor seal. There's a thread HERE by r3dplanet that is well documented. I still have a couple of leftover bearings and the bit, IIRC, that are needed. I'll send to you if you want.
Having said that, I'm curious about the bus TB as well. What cam do you have? I've had the Raby 9950 on a 2056 and now the 2270, and it just can't seem to get enough air the first couple of minutes after start up. |
