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'll do whatever I can to keep the FI on mine going.
OTOH, for those of you with a real 6 or 6 conversions running Weber carbs, the full radius trumpets in the link really work. I learned of them from Paul Abbott @ Performance Oriented. Paul is a guru on Webers. He recommended these to Ed Mayo (PCA Ed Mayo) to deal with a running/tuning issue. He built a pair of 42mm for me. They're on a "warmed over" 2.7. https://www.dellorto.co.uk/shop/car-accesso...mm-x-50mm-long/ Paul's work in progress: Completed: The car now running a Clewett Engineering crank fire ignition. No further distributor rebuilds. The car had one done by "the best" before I owned it. It's a museum piece now. These coils can fire a fat mixture and the car which was already strong is more so now. Timing is spot on 100% of the time. It starts easier too. |
