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.

The door handle issue is probably a broken door cam. Pull the door pad and remove the handle. If the cam is broken, you will see it. The cams are available from any of our beloved vendors.
And take the latch out of the door, clean it, lube it, and reinstall it. They get gummed up and that makes the plastic door handle cam break. |
