Hi folks a 914"expert said carbs will burn the valves on a 914 and not run well. Is this true? is the fuel economy worse when using duel carbs? Would you run orig fuel injection on a 2.0 or carbs thank you, Joe

20 years ago the world was generally perplexed by 1970s fuel injection (coupled to its inability to handle much mods) and was wholeheartedly supporting converting to carbs.
Today, this community has realized the value of those early-gen systems and their better driveability and economy. Further, many/most of the degradation problems have been identified and solutions provided by the aftermarket. This thread will be filled with "keep the FI" comments (including from me) with sprinklings of "I prefer carbs". IMO, if you still have the original parts, and there's no plans for significant modifications (e.g., big cams and compression) then the stock D-Jet is my preference. |

I for one, have known that since the 70's, and still believe it. |
