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

I have 75k miles with FI and 75k miles with carbs on my 914. Got stranded on the side of the highway many times with FI issues, switched to carbs and it never happened again. That said the car certainly did not run as well with carbs, but it ran. If someone would have been able to fix the FI back in the early 80s I would never has switched. Now the engine is a 2056 with a carb cam and it is a blast. Of course the carb issues like gas smell, difficult starts remain. I would love to go to modern FI and I am on the wait list for a dual throttle body system.
Keep the FI if you can......and most importantly enjoy the ride. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
