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? |

60s are pretty big. I would definately try something smaller. With my 40IDF webers on a 2.0, I run 50 idles and 125 mains, with each air bypass screw (do dells have these?) out 1.5 turns and each mixture volume screw starting at 3.5 also, but dailed back to about 2.5 before there is popping somewhere. I set all the mixture screws to whatever the biggest setting is so all cylinders are drawing the same amount. Make sure the linkage is square with the carb lever so both sides advance at the same rate.
