Thanks

Are you talking about the fuel distributor?

[dependencies]

Sorry for delay yes in answer though,
fuel distributor, commonly reffered to as metering head (UK)

My car had a top-end rebuild carried out, but came back with more than the occasional puff of smoke we all know & love.

Back it went for further investigation, during which time fuel was discovered squirting out one #3 exhaust valve.
(Exhaust removed for inspection)

An exchange for new injectors failed to rectify indeed a replacement meter was sourced second-hand in order to eliminate problem, but its age and subsequent condition caused smoke all the time
(as opposed to intermittent)
A new unit has apparently cured this unhappy quirk, and if it continues to start up in a satisfactory way,
I shall collect it from Mr Spanners in a day or Two.

Now, I've trawled Porsche forums for this sporadic smoke (fuel)
to no avail over recent weeks, the nearest comparison I've made
is both 928/944 DME fuel relay playing up.
But on an early 911, nothing
Hence enquiry.


Editerd to mention;
IF Tuthills Banbury UK

had bothered less with contents of cash register
and more with this particular car in the first place
I would'nt have had to have their lacklustre work corrected



Thanks for that
