Hey Guys,
I'm about 6 months into searching and researching these cars(914) and from what I gather...they were designed for fuel injection and should have fuel injection to work properly. I've read the warnings of poor engine runnings and bad gas mileage and all...but I still see SO many great cars that I've passed up because they are carbed. Can someone give me a little context in how to think about this stuff? I'm not a gear head and don't have enough knowledge to know why and why not. Anybody? I know what George at Auto Atlanta thinks....what about the rest of you guys? I'm a newbie and need your sage advice. Thoughts guys? Thanks for any clarity or perspective. Jim |

I personally am a fan of carburetion. That being said, there is a set up I would avoid all together. It is a single Weber carb. It has given more people headaches than bad FI and bad carbs altogether. Unless of course you are prepared to replace it when you purchase it. I have gotten great MPG from putting dual singles on stock motors but the D-jet lacks real performance. The L-jet was fine as it is an aspirated device. Buy a carbed -6 and you will listen to it instead of the stereo.
