[urq] suddenly Lean - Now I'm Rich!

[Ado Sigal]

Nice one Keith.
Get well soon , and then you could perhaps write the procedure and place 
it our KB. In time, many will benefit for sure. Then if you so inclined, 
and since you have the old unit for the test, can make your WUR 
adjustable as per: http://www.rpm.com.au/911/html/tech_w.html

Thanks and regards,

Ado

So as the engine warms up so the mixture leans off to a normal running condition. Under this normal running condition the pipe from the manifold, routed by the inactive solenoid applies vacuum to the diaphragm in the WUR maintaining the spring pressure against the valve and thus maintaining high control pressure.
>Under WOT condition when extra fuel is needed in a rush, the WOT switch triggers the solenoid which purges the vacuum, replacing it with either ambient pressure or positive pressure causing the diaphragm to move away from the spring, allowing the spring pressure on the valve to decrease, opening the valve and reducing the control pressure, thus increasing fuel delivery. - Am I right in my understanding of it's operation?
