Hello 914 Club, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif)
I'm new to the 914 world and have a couple questions. I am currently in Alaska and will be here for 20 months as a military contractor and my 914 is in Virginia. It is a 75 and does not have the original engine it has a 1.7 duel 40mm carbs and a 009 dizzy. I have had the interior redone and it will be repainted this spring. What Iam wondering is what dizzy should I be running and are 40mm carbs a good choice for this engine. Any and all recommedations are appreciated. Also it is yellow cause I heard there faster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Thanks, Ronnie J |

The original FI dizzy is better than that 009 or find a 1.8L Ljet one. If you want to spend some cash get a Mallory.
The advance curve is the difference between them all with the 009 sucking and the Mallory being adjustable. The 40's are fine but what kind of linkage are you running? Take the car to a dyno shop to get the carbs dialed in (A/F) wise. Geoff |
