Hello all, just picked up a 1974 1.8l. New to 914’s but have owned several air cooled VW’s. The 914 has been stored for several years. Just pulled out of storage when I bought it. Will run on starter fluid only. Technically it is a one owner registered car as I have the original owners signed title and as far a si know, it has never been registered by anybody else. Appears to have original 3 port fuel pump. I checked that it does get power to the connector. I then hooked 12v directly to pump, no sound. Gave it a few taps just in case. Seems do is dead. I will. Pull old pump, probably go to a 2 port as easier to find and cheaper.

Erich,
I very strongly suggest that you replace the stock plastic fuel lines with a set of the stainless steel fuel lines from Tangerine racing. 50 year old lines can fail, and watching your car burn is heartbreaking. The stainless lines are cheap insurance. I also suggest that you relocate the fuel pump up front. Vapor lock, while no where near as bad as an engine fire, can leave you stranded on the side of the road. |
