So I got me a second 914, to drive while I finish restoring the "keeper". But it has dual webber 40's with issues.. It doesn't like to idle, and if I spray carb cleaner into some of the venturies it idles better, others not. Should I just pull them and rebuild them? Turning the adjustment screws doesn't seem to make much difference.
I'm trying to acertain whether or not it has the stock cam, if it does I'll probably go back to fuel injection. |

Thanks for the info.. The PO says he has the haynes book for the carbs, so once I get that I should be ok.. It really roars at high RPM, it's just hosed at idle, so it sounds like clearing out the crud may help me.
The linkage is the sucky part.. it.. sucks! It has these two flimsy "L" brakets coming off the bottoms of the air cleaners, with a rod in between them. The geometry is so bad that the gas pedal is quite hard to push even with a new cable. I had to swap in the rebuilt pedal cluster I had ready for the LT1 because the throttle pivot thingie had come loose from the shaft at the braze. Maybe I should just toss the LT1 in there.. for now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) It's gonna be a nice driver, methinks. I went over the underside with a fine toothed comb and didn't find any rust. Unfortunately, the body is another story. I was sure I'd have gotten a TTIWWP by now.. but here's some pics anyways.
