I'm considering a '73 1.7 that some idiot put a single carb conversion on. It would be no problem a put on dual carbs instead BUT my last 914 burned when the right air filter caught fire (backfire?). It normally never backfired but this was on a hot restart after being stuck in stopped traffic on a very hot day.
Has anyone heard of this happening with dual Webers using the typical open sided air filters? I know there must be thousands of cars with this set-up. So, am I worrying for no reason. Nick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
