Bought a new to me 914 in April and had issues ever since. Current one is it is very hard to start, my mechanic is using starter fluid to get it going. Cold start valve is disconnected and no wiring to support it, won't stay running without keeping the gas peddle pushed some, etc. He recommends changing to carbs, and with the limited paperwork I got with the car, the mechanic that rebuilt the engine from 1.8 to 2.2L recommended the same. What do you guys recommend, parts for the FI are much more than dual carbs and then I'll have to pay for all the troubleshooting with the FI.
If you recommend carbs, where is the best place to buy and what would you recommend for the modified 2.2L? Thanks, I need the help! Rick |

The one that I know of is a particular CHT and particular MPS that AA claimed would "unlock the power" in the FI system. It probably just fattened the mixture a little. The MPS isn't an L-jet part at all, so the kit which is "specially matched" won't work on an L-jet car. --DD |
