I just picked up a 74' 2.0 and I got a few questions. We bought this thing as non-running. It runs....but it's real rough. What can you tell me about this carb setup that came installed? We have the factory carbs as well but it came with this carb setup installed. They appear to be brand new and looks like the PO never got the car to run right with this carb setup installed.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.staticflickr.com-17836-1409460377.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm6.staticflickr.com-17836-1409460378.2.jpg) Should there be a vacuum hose coming off the carb? There's a port for it but no hose has been run. We pulled the plugs and all of them were in rough shape...#4 especially. Cylinder #4 has a timesert on the spark plug threads and looked to be drenched in fuel. The rest were just old and worn out (and none of them matched...had 4 different plugs in there, lol) We also did a valve adjustment. Wow were those out of spec. One of the intake valves had almost .120" of clearance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) So we got all the valves within spec and tomorrow will be putting in the new plugs. Hoping to get this 2.0 running smoothly! The breather hoses seem to be cracked at the ports. Any other recommendations on what to do/check to get it running proper would be great. Thanks 914world! Great community, glad to be a part of it! |

First, welcome to the world. Now let's get down to business.
Although the progressive carb it's not the best set up, I have tuned several that run just fine. I drove mine with one on it from Tulsa to san Diego and back with no problems. 3400 miles and 30 plus mpg. the vacuum port should be plugged. Replace the cracked hoses. The Weber website has instructions on adjusting the carb. The new coils are loose in the clamps. They need to be shimmed, but I use a piece of rubber or thick gasket paper. Can't imagine why anyone would cut the tin there but it must be replaced. The car will over heat quickly if left that way I do see a lot of wires that may not be needed. Someone has done some terrible things to that car. |
