Moving toward dual carburetors on my, 1976 914, 2.0. I know should keep the fuel injection and am being a fool to not use the fuel injection. The car will be a driver, no racing, crusing, fun. Anyway, 2.0, will build a mild engine, mild camshaft, maybe a, 78mm stroker, some head work, back dated heat exchangers with Burch exhaust/muffler. Looking at; 40's probably better drivability or 44's. Not sure on EMPI's or Webers yet. Linkage? Cross bar? has problems and bell crank has problems so a recommendation on carburetors and linkage? Anything else? Thank for the time and information

I have a 2056cc with EMPI 40 carbs. If I were starting a build today, I would be fine with the EMPI carbs but I would've sent them off to be prepped. IIRC Jake Raby supposedly had a process for "fixing" brand new EMPI carbs, and there might have been someone else on the forum who offered that as a service.
Also if starting a build today I would've strongly considered Tangerine Racing's cable linkage. |

Sync link (type 4 store) or Tangerine cable system
40 idf clone or used weber 40 idf both will need going through/rebuild |

2.0l 40 IDF with 27mm chokes.
2256 (stroker) would work with 40s 32 mm chokes. Bigger motor really should move up to 44s with 32mm chokes. |

Dellorto 40 DRLA, find a good used pair, preferably professionally rebuilt.

I saw a sync link note that said it does not work in a 914. Do some research. Tangerine would be good. What is the flat system that pivots at the center of the engine case called?

JAKE loves the Sync link best for type 4. but an extension cable may be need?
I have the tangerine, and have had ZERO issues and hold the sync very well FWIW |

Bell crank, that's the one I could not remember.

I like Weber 40 IDF carbs and I have had very good luck with them, just make sure to give them clean fuel. If you DIY, rebuild them yourself and make up a simple bell crank setup while you are at it. I have at least 3 hex bar setups kicking around and never had luck with them.
a simple bell crank, yes |
