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 |

Hi Ronnie! Welcome! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
Another route might be to have your distributor recurved to something with a better advance. While the 009 advance curve works, it's not the ideal distributor for our engine. It was designed as a distributor for a stationary industrial motor. If you have pictures of your baby, we'd love to see them! -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
