A 914 that has been converted to a new single carb is carbon fouling a practically new set of Bosch Platimum spark plugs in just a few weeks. A low pressure facet style fuel pump is installed. The fuel/mixture screw is leaned out with no luck. What have you found is the best brand and heat range spark plugs for a carburated 914. Thanks

Quick, get rid of the single carb before the sharks start to swarm. :-)
Single carbs don't work well with 914s, the gas has too far to go to get from the carb to the engine. Find some dual dellortos or dual webers. The carb may well be causing your plugs to foul, as the gas will kind of pool in the manifold, instead of going in properly atomized. At least, that is my understanding of the issue. Zach |
