So this Saturday I dusted off the 914 and did an AX race after more than a year of being "too busy" w my great job at www.seaturtles.org
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I've ALWAYs shown up to the AX w less than a quarter tank of gas. I have a 1972 1.7 w stock D-jet and aftermarket intake and exhaust. Stock fuel pump, OE low rear mounted, stock gas tank and lines but with evap system on top of fuel tank completely removed (recently). So, on runs 2-5 I get a period of "no power" after each of the long, fast sweeping left and right turns. Ok, either I have a fuel problem, or ignition. All wires solid, so I drive out and get 4 gallons of gas. More gas = Problem solved! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm posting because I used to always do AX races w barely any gas and have never had this problem. Any ideas on why I had this problem? Fixes to improve for next time? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I haven't really heard much of a problem with stock stuff in autox though surprised (But perhaps I'm misinformed) that your having this problem |
