Dialed in the idle with a smaller idle jet and adjusted to lean best idle.


Where did you end up with your idle mixture screws? Twin Webers?

I am at about 1.5 turns out. And the throttle is 1.5 turns in.

Single Weber 32/36 (I know ...). Have a set of 40 IDFs that need a rebuild before I install.

1.5 turns out is the right number as far as I know. I ran a 32/26 for awhile, started good ran good. I didn't see the problem

Spend the last few weekends stripping it down and cleaning it up.

I'm going to sell it. Had it since 1979 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

My 18 year old son, Nolan, got to drive the Bumblebee in the local San Jose 4th of July parade. He was the driver for a council member. I was out of town with my wife celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, so Nolan handled the decorations on the car and getting it prepped for the parade.

Still without a 914, that being said I will be in the market for one in the near future.

So to earn some 914 funds I have gotten offf my lazy rump and started to make some emblems again. Of course I’d probably be better off getting a part time at In-and-Out than dealing with the frustration I encounter in my garage shop.

Did the second A-arm bushing replacement using Ian's video. The first one took what felt like half a day, watching video, do, re-watch, re-do, etc. This one about 30 minutes. New Koni struts installed as well. Hopefully will finish getting the suspension that is substantially re-freshed by the weekend.

New bushings, new ball joints, new struts, new brake flex hoses, rebuilt steering rack with turbo tie rods.

The door latch cam on my driver's door broke, and the passenger side has always been hard to open. Also, one of my door handles had been painted black and the chrome was coming off the other.....so ...I pulled out both latching mechanisms, degreased/de-gunked them overnight, replaced both door latch cams, and sanded down the actual door handles themselves. Then applied 3M vinyl to matte them out. In the future, I'll probably powder coat them, but for the time being they'll do.

Then I drove it ......

First time in (20+) years my 914 was in a rain downpour on it's way home from a local Porsche (ArborMotion Ann Arbor, MI) shop. They did a complete maintenance & safety check since it's been sitting under cover since 2018. I charged up my old 8-year battery & when it started up had a miss fire in one cylinder plus needed an oil change. The Porsche Tech found a bad connection wire going to one fuel injector that fixed the problem. Everything went well and now I can get start having 914 fun. I cleaned it up and it still looks good after (20+) years of neglect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

The RAT Engen came back from PMB for me and Mark Sonners to take down to find out why it has a tick in it. Sounded like an exhaust leak but it had low oil pressure so we will find out. This was a Jake build not just RAT parts.

Is this your engine, or are you the engine builder?

This Eng was in Oscars blue 914 with the big Frog lights on it and flairs on it. Going into the 74 blue 2.0 that I had inside my shop for 12 years.

Mark Sonners and I are doing the work on this used RAT built eng. Trying to find out why there was oil starvation and the ticking sound. Who knows what the hell the ticking sounds is from. We are taking it down very slowly looking for witness marks. Some stuff doesn't look exactly right there's no wire to the thermostat flaps. We will post pictures and ask questions as we have a RAT Jake DVD

So, Mark delivered all the parts to the machinist, and I thought the rod felt weird on the piston closest to the oil pump. That oil pump was a RABY type 1 pump that the machinist said failed.

So here is a picture.
