We bought this 914 a couple of years ago. It had the fuel injection taken out and replaced with a carburetor, weber dfev 32/36 so I am stuck with this setup. Recently it has had trouble starting and idling. One of the things we found that the fuel pump a Faset seemed to stop pumping when we cranked the car. Any ideas on that? So I read the internet and finde out racetep says you should use a Carter fuel pump, so I bought one. The Faset was installed under the rock guard under the fuel tank. The Carter does not fit there. Any ideas where I should put this? My car a 1972 1.7 that my son used for a daily driver until we started having problems. Thanks for the help.

Fuel level is higher than where you would mount the pump under the engine shelf on the firewall. Shouldn't be a problem. Just cut one of the hoses and see what happens (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
There should be plenty of room up front to mount it. And yes, electric pumps are better "pushers" than "suckers". |
