I've never seen one that you could assemble wrong, but then again I was trying to do it right. The bellows should be sealed. If you can find any sign of a leak, then it is dead. I don't know how to transplant a good bellows from one sensor to another, but it MUST be possible. The 71 PS also has a brass diaphram which can crack, but a failure here will make it run rich. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
