OK.........73 that hasn't started in 15 years........already drained the gas 'n' put in new high octane gas with some seafoam..................I was thinking of adding some seafoam into the oil just to possible unstick maybe something that the oil comes into contact inside the engine...........is this a bad concept...........you never know where rust might lurk ('specially on a 914)..............any other suggestions to help me kick this thing over and bring it to life would be deeply appreciated.............THANKS

I just re-vived a 73 2.0 FI 914 that sat since 1992. I did this just last week. the lines under the tank had internally decomposed. inside they looked like tar. the car yould run fine for 10 minutes or about 50 yards under load. the rubber fuel lines MUST be replaced
the FI connections all had a non conductive coating of corrosion on them. inserrt picture of burning 914 here |
