I just picked up a 74' 2.0 and I got a few questions. We bought this thing as non-running. It runs....but it's real rough. What can you tell me about this carb setup that came installed? We have the factory carbs as well but it came with this carb setup installed. They appear to be brand new and looks like the PO never got the car to run right with this carb setup installed.

There's a port for it but no hose has been run. We pulled the plugs and all of them were in rough shape...#4 especially. Cylinder #4 has a timesert on the spark plug threads and looked to be drenched in fuel. The rest were just old and worn out (and none of them matched...had 4 different plugs in there, lol) We also did a valve adjustment. Wow were those out of spec. One of the intake valves had almost .120" of clearance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) So we got all the valves within spec and tomorrow will be putting in the new plugs. Hoping to get this 2.0 running smoothly! The breather hoses seem to be cracked at the ports. Any other recommendations on what to do/check to get it running proper would be great. Thanks 914world! Great community, glad to be a part of it! |
