Quoted from: http://hem.passagen.se/utzon/My931/My931.html
"A few years ago I noticed a strange thing on my 931. Every time I turned right revving about 4000rpm on full throttle the engine started knocking.
This didn't happen when I turned left under the same conditions.
I looked at the gauges and everything was OK.
When I came home I looked at an air flow meter I had in my garage. When I turned it I noticed that it is extremely G-sensitive. When turning one way it opens and vice versa.
What happened was that the air fuel mixture became too lean in right turns and too rich in left turns.
I have now solved this problem by turning the meter 90 degrees so now it goes lean when braking han rich when accelerating." _________________ "..it's made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff."
