Hello there,
I just bought a 72 914 w/ a 1.8 according to the seller. I drove it about 5 hours home no problem. However, when I drive it now, I can run for about 30 minutes then it starts to lose power and buck. The car stalls if I take my foot off the gas. I have to pull over, shut it down for a few minutes and then i can drive off. It then does this every 5-15 minutes. I also think I added to much oil, how are you supposed to check the level, I heard the engine needs to be running? Now there is oil all throughout the engine bay. Did I blow oil out throuhg the air filters, and if so can I take them off to drive into town, about 12 miles. Please help I would love to fix this tomorrow. Thanks, Scooter |

Ok so I found out more info...dual weber carbs, not sure which ones. It seems that the fuel pump is right next to the gas tank, I'm assuming that this is not stock. Definatley a 1.8. Oil problem solved...just had to much. So, how hot does it need to be for the fuel to atomize. If the engine is not cooling properly could the carbs get hot enough to atomize the fuel. Also, could a fuel line get hot enought to do the same. I had the same problem today...ran it for about an hour until it started, and then cooled off for periods of 1-5 minutes bought me about that same amount of time running until it started dying again. Here are some photos as well.
