what carb set up would work best on 36 dellorto's for a stock 1.8L 914 application? specifically the venturis. I am thinking of either a 30 or 32 but need some season help on this one. thanks

I understand that I will not receive any additional power from switching to carbs but I am looking more for reliability and drive-ability.
From my research tThe 1.8L is the best stock setup for carbs, in regards to the distributor and cam. These react reasonably well to carbs without modification, although i know that I will not get any power increase without changing the cam. a few years down the road i have plans for the engine but right now I am in school and getting married and need a setup that will be as reliable as possible to be able to justify keeping her. I am in college in SoCal and the 914 is over 400 miles away, waiting to join me. I have had countless problems with my fuel injection leaving me stranded on the side of the road more times than i can count. The past owner also ripped up the FI harness. bottom line I don't trust it anymore. Perhaps if i could disassemble, test, replace and reinstall then I could gain that trust back but I am choosing to sell me L-jet and go with dual carbs instead. although I have yet to take the plunge and either buy the carbs or start selling my FI. just have a hard time commiting. anyways thanks for asking |
