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 |

that open fitting on the oil fill tower just pumps crap all over the engine compartment. the cheap way to solve that issue is to drill a hole in one of the air filter tops, put in a fitting that fits the proper sized vaccum line, and let the carb draw off the fumes. where does the fuel pump sit in relation to the outlet on the bottom of the fuel tank? higher, lower, about the same. show a picture of the location and type of pump.
