Hi guys, Chris from New Zealand here....finally bought myself a 914! Shes a '73 2.0 with original FI. Had her about a week, after standing for 8 years.
Previous owner spent some time and money getting her on the road as part of the sale to me, but still a bit of work to be done! I'll try and attach a picture. Took her for a shakedown run today for about 3 hours but then she started coughing and spluttering then stalled at about 60mph. Coasted to a halt, ignition on/off and away she went again for about half an hour.. Same thing again, ignition on/off and all was well for another 20 min.. This went on and on and the intervals between spluttering and stalling got more frequent until i just about made it home. Felt like fuel rather than electrical... Could it be the fuel pump, or any other ideas? I have a feeling I'll be using the forum quite a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Nice to meet everyone! |

With the tank empty, you can look in the tank (flashlight) and see the condition of the fuel sock. Sucked flat, copious amount of rust in the tank bottom and fuel well? Remove the tank, clean it and replace the sock. I would plan on replacing the fuel filter as well. And any old hoses.

Thanks Rhod!! if and when the tanks comes out, may as well change the filter and poss the pump, seeing as its 50 years old i reckon! |
