I fired up my 914, and let it idle in the drive way for a while, and noticed that small dots of black stuff (looks like oil splatter) seem to come out and stain the concrete. These aren't liquid at all, but are a black powdery soot.
Is it normal to have these black soot marks? Do you think this is because my car has sat for some time? |

OK... I'm going to tear it up. I'll PM you the check number so you can void it out. Sorry about that. I had the clips sitting there waiting for the check and a shipping address... finally found the check burried in a "stack".
Sounds like you've got a good foundation on the carbs. Get a UniSyn gauge and start the fun. You may simply want to experiment by turning in the enrichment screws 1/4 each (if it's running great now). If you begin to get some lean "pop" you've gone too far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
