69 911e MFI question

[Yikes69]

Hello
Having a problem with accessing the load adjustment on the MFI unit.. I removed the allen head bolt. But when I install the tool ( very small screwdriver ) into the hole. There is a lever that I can push forward ( spring loaded) . But my screwdriver instantly get struck ( seems to go to the side) no matter how I try. I removed the side cover to get a better look at what I read should be an adjust screw. But really can't make it out. My view is obstructed. Any help would be appreciated.

With the air cleaner removed and a small mirror you can see the screwdriver engage with the side cover removed. Make sure the screwdriver blade really is small enough. I bought the correct tools and found the T drive screwdriver to big so reverted to using a small electrical screwdriver with only half the plastic handle (the rest is cut off to make it easier to insert, just enough handle to click click click the adjustment)

Take a file/grinder and grind the blade down on the screwdriver, that's what I had to do so I wasn't trying 20 times to engage the blade.

Make sure your screwdriver is long enough to actually reach the detent screw adjuster under the Allen head bolt. It's several inches inside. I bought a special screwdriver for this purpose, and as mentioned above had to grind a little off the sides of the screwdriver so it would fit into the hole.

You have a '69 which is unique.

You will need to unscrew the bolt upper left and front of the pump. That bolt keeps you from inserting the screwdriver as you are describing.



The feel of the adjustment screw takes a little to get used to. I actually use a screwdriver that has been cut down in length. The long 'tool' that you buy online lacks the feel to get it right, at least for me.

Matthew is right on about the 69 being unique. That lever you are hitting trying to do the adjustment is the enrichment solenoid lever on a shaft that needs to be moved off the the left a little to let you reach the main rack adjuster. The 14mm ATF bolt Matthew shows in the photo will only unscrew out till it almost hits the throttle lever. Thats all you need to let your thin blade screwdriver reach the adjuster.

ok guys thanks for the info. I also bought the tool and had to file it in order to get it in the allen bolt hole. One more question. Do I have to worry about anything falling or disconnecting? When I loosen the bolt on the left until it hits
the lever.

No, it will not come out. The accel lever prevents it from coming fully out.

Ok thanks again. Just didn't want any unexpected surprises.

Hey Guys, I did exactly what you said and it worked like a charm! I have the vehicle running somewhat well. I wanted to take it for a ride to do the part/load adjustment
but to my surprise. She won't move. It's a SPORT-O-MATIC. When I tried put her in reverse, nothing happens most of the time. Sometimes (3 times, once in 1st, twice in reverse), it will engage (idle drops and starts to move).But as soon as a touch the brake nothing. Seemed to me that I was playing with shifter when it engaged ( could have been a coincidence). I also had gear grinding on occasion. Any help or direction would greatly appreciated. Thanks again,
John

Hello Guys,
I have question about doing an idle adjust on 69 911E Sportomatic. I've completed doing the Part load adjustment. But my question is : When I perform the iIdle Adjustment. Is the done in Gear or
Park/Neutral ?

[356RS]

Idle mixture on the pump is done with the car in neutral.

I couldn't find if anything was different on a Sportomatic.
Tomorrows project.Thanks again

Hey Guys,
Throttle body shafts are worn. I'm guessing that butterflies and the barrels are also done.
Does anyone know where I can get them built ? And if so. Around how much $$$ it runs ?
I've googled and found a few places.
Thanks, John

Matt Blast @ Eurometrix rebuilds throttle body's and also Aaron Burnham @ Burnham Performance and also Kurt @ Parts Klassic.
