hello
mounting 2 carburetors doppiocorpo 40 on 914 2000cc earns some horse power?
thanks

If you are using a cam for carbs, yes.

if not, no. You will loose power.

Also, you will want to use air cleaners instead of the the grill over the velocity stacks. Otherwise, you are going to be inducting a lot of dirt into your engine.

Translated with Babelfish:

dipende dalla camma in vostro motore. Una camma di iniezione di carburante non trarrà giovamento dal per mezzo dei CARBURATORI. Probabilmente non vederete molto di un aumento di potere a meno che cambiate i pistoni ed i cilindri così come le CAMME.

Claro?

You are doing good with your english. Don't install the carbs without changing the cam. The stock fuel injection cam has the wrong lift and duration for carbs.

I'm not going to be much help but Jake and others here can help you with a cam selection. This is just a bump.

It will run OK with those carbs, even with the stock camshaft, but you won't *gain* any power over a well functioning FI.

For more HP, you'll have to crack the case open and put in a camshaft that is ground for carb use.
