Hello everyone. I'm a new owner of a 1975 914 1.8l (pictures shortly) with 75,000 miles. It was converted professionally to dual carbs from the original bosch fuel injection system. The car drives well but have noticed that when I park it in the garage after driving that a very strong gas smell lingers for days. I don't see any fuel leak. Is there a charcoal filter I've missed that needs replacing or can anyone recommend some items to check.
Pictures soon as I start the restore this winter, I'm a restore newbie so it should be painfully fun. Cheers, David |

When my car got converted to carb by a "professional garage", they forgot to close the fuel return line. I had a strong gas smell and since gas evaporates fairly quickly, I did not notice it was leaking until I had a buddy check it out. I have a 75 as well.
Just sharing my first experience. Good luck and be safe. Abe |
