This is a very difficult to get item to get! Many have said soaking the existing one in kerosene for a few days will do the trick, have not done that yet as I am still trying to track down a new one. Wondering what the success rate has been with soaking it in kerosene, also wondering would WD 40 do the same thing. Would hate to ruin the one I have, which is original to the car!

Ian Stott Moncton Canada Hey I'm new here and stumbled across this forum and topic. Also a new 914 and air cooled beginer! So i registered and wanted to share my fix. I was amazed i couldnt find much info on this topic so wanted to share what i came up with. I used a faucet handle /compression sleeve puller inserted into the large diameter end port to gently work the piston and spring free (after letting some wd-40 soak that port for a few minutes). I could then pull a vacuum on the small port and push compressed air through the other ports. I hope this helps anyone else with a stuck decel valve! Just for reference the ports begin to equalize at 15 in/merc and fully open at about 18in/merc. I dont know what they are susposed to be, but thats where i am at! Car sat for about 30years and im the second owner. Hope this helps! Randy |
