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. if there is a second metal canister (like the one in my picture) it would be the fp regulator. general info. this type of pump is a good "pusher", and a bad "puller". mounted high as in your picture, the pump is forced to "pull" the fuel uphill. note in my picture the pump actually rests below where the fuel outlet is located. gravity does the initial work, supplying the fuel to the pump, and the pump "pushes" it a short distance uphill. filter upstream of the pump (before), and i use a stock hp style. if you should relocate the pump, check out andy's powering the pump thread in the classic thread section. if you want to try a new coil, a bosch blue can be had for roughly $30. perhaps worth a try. btw, when you buy a cb pump, the instructions stongly advise against mounting the pump in a trunk or enclosed space. prob to avoid accumulation of vapors and the accompaning explosion.
