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? |

You can get them pretty even by pitch. I have used a piece of tubeing, put it
in your ear and the other end in the carb (one barrel at a time). Listen to the pitch and match the others to it. But a syncgauge is by far the best. |

But a syncgauge is by far the best. I supplement my setting the way Paul does BUT PLEASE BE CAREFUL! IF THE CARB POPS (BACKFIRES) IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! Please don't stick the tube into your ear. |

Please don't stick the tube into your ear. Just revving the motor makes you deaf! I crammed the tuft of cotton off a Q-tip into my length of hose and it works great! |
