Okay, this is my first post so please be gentle. As of 5 days ago I am the proud owner of a white 73 2.0 914. I bought it from a family friend. It was love at first sight for me and the car, since I was a kid I wanted one and now that I am 42 that feeling never went away. The car has not been driven in over 8 years. It is original. So where do I start or should I say my mechanic start? I live in the Twin Cities area so my plan is for this to be my summertime daily driver.
Thanks for the advice. Stephen |

Adding details to Eric's brake thought.
Check for stuck pistons. Check hand brake operation. Set vent clearances in the rear. Inspect soft brake lines all round. Inspect your fuel lines - especially any cloth covered ones. Particular attention to lines that run from the output of the fuel pump as far as the pressure regulator. Include the elbows that go down to the fuel injector. |
