Need some help. I hadn’t nt started my 914 in about a year and a half. When I went to start it today it didn’t want to fire up. After numerous attempts if would fire up and run for about a second and cut off. After doing that a dozen times. I noticed a pool of gas which appeared to come out of my tail pipes. It’s a 1.8l with dual carbs. Just looking for some suggestions as to what might be cause the gas to come out the tail pipes.
Thanks in advance

Will probably need to go thru the carbs. Old gas causes carburetor problems. Float, needle and seat...
Needle valve stuck open? Float stuck?
I 3rd the float. Had the same issue with my Generator. That came out of the exhaust and also filled up the crank case. Pulled the dipstick to check oil level and got a shot a gasoline in my face! Lol!
Good luck with the fix and get driving that thing!
... sounds like you're dumping raw fuel into the cylinders due to the needle valve(s) sticking open and over-filling the float bowl(s).
