Broken K-Jet Fuel Distributor mount - seats

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Apple Computer, Jun 24, 2005.

  1. The front stud and rubber mount of my ('81 245) K-Jet fuel distributor
    has sheared completely. Is there some way to easily replace it?
    Looking through a wrecking yard, it seems to be a common problem even
    though their percentage of Volvos with K-Jet is about 3%.

    Do 700 seats fit a 240 by chance?

    Why not just buy a new one? They're not that much money, any you find
    in a wrecking yard will probably break when you try to remove them.

    Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.

  3. Hi Mike,
    Do you mean buy a whole new fuel distributor or just a new new mount?
    Surely a AMM/Fuel Distributor must be costly. I have not figured out
    how the mount attaches to the distributor yet. I didn't want to mess
    with mine because I don't want to strand myself by making the
    situation worse until I had replacement parts in hand. Thanks again
    for your help on other topics.

    If you know what your engine mounts look like, then that's what the fuel
    distributor (actually air flow sensor) mounts look like, although
    obviously they're a little smaller. Undo the nut you do see, then turn
    the whole mount to get it out of the air flow sensor. And yes, it's a
    lot easier said than done.
