Auxillary Air regulator quethankstion

calling911 · 01-12-2008, 11:55 AM

I have a 1976 911 and it looks like the aux air regulator is dead. It has 12v but not vibration and I removed it and visually can see its not alive. I assume my test is good from what I've read here, 12v should make it live.

Sooooooo my question.. its $600 from Pelican.. and it seems like several 911's have unique AAR's. The 76' has one part # all by itself.. in my search for a used replacement, is there really a big difference between say a 76 and a 77 or a 76 and a 80? Anybody know?

Damn this thing is pricey.. anybody drill out the rivets and try a repair?

thanks for any help on this.

Bump... please excuse the title. I really need to know if I tested this correctly before I part with $$$$

I was about to replace AAR in my 77.
after searching operating info & ohms,
I found it checked ok.-- traced my problem
to erratic fuel pump.

Yeah I see now this is not my problem. This thing works totally different than I thought..

Could be my pump.. thanks.. surging like crazy when its warm.. just like the 16 million threads on here with NO solutions.. I wish people would post when they solve problems.

thanks for all the help here! The mysterytrain thread answered my questions!

In answer to one of your Q's, yes - you can drill the studs out and open it up and fix the broken wire - if you have one. An ohmeter would tell you that. There is much you can do to repair it inside, and bolt it back together.
