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

On the topic of fuel injection, my son ran across the Bendix Electrojector during some of his automotive searching. Amazing stuff! Searching here, looks like it has been discussed already, but thought worth mentioning in case anyone missed it. The Bendix Electrojector looks like the first attempt at electronic fuel injection. A failed attempt in the late 50s on a few AMC and Chrysler cars, its patents were purchased by Bosch and evolved into the D-Jetronic system! I never would have believed it.

Dan (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) d jet - born in the USA. i think chicago to be precise? it did not exactly fail, the bendix system. it just kind of faltered. and from stumbling well....the idea could basically plug into the tail end of the whole post world war 2 marshall plan type idea. the germans were like the japanese and just folded into the american vision of the world and were on the look out. and not on the look out for the european vision of the world that had really screwed things up in the first half of the 20th C. those germans just plain dedicated themselves to sorting out the transistors or diodes, whatever it was that could not take the engine bay heat. thats pretty much all they did to make the bendix system work. but L jet is their work of genius. thats where the krauts went....."there has to be a better way". and its typically german. reduced. minimalist and modernist. just like kraftwerk music. and thats around the same time!!! L jet is to cars what mies van der rohe was to architecture. and what car got L jet first (or a close second to be more accurate)? .........and mies ended up in chicago! i love the USA. must get back there before i kick the bucket.
