What size are the venturi's ?? That will tell us real quick if it makes 5000hp. They have a number stamped on them unless somebody opened them up by hand.

Oh.. dont do the baffle trick. It is a road racing thing... it works for AutoX but unless you plan on tracking the car... not worth the hassle.

30's on the venturi's.

I'd be happy with just 1000hp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

30mm ?? Stock 9146 2.0 was something like 28mm and it made 110hp or so.

Interesting.

Brad, 180 on the emulsion tube top jet and 55 idles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

What've I got here?

Have you seen my start-up video, or no?

Everytime I see it, I smile. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Carbs are back on the SIX.

Started instantly. High Idle. Tuned it down. Good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Problem is this: I think the float level adjustment is wrong on one bank.

Fuel is leaking out around the base.
I turned the fuel PSI down to 2.5 but it still dribbles.

I guess I'll pop the top and bend the tab up a scoaschie.

The rebuild kit came with new fuel inlet needle valves.
The length of them may be a hair shorter or the washers thicker not allowing the fuel to shut off when the bowl is full. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I have to set the a/f after the flood is over.

*THREAD RECOVERY*

I'll start by removing the washer under the inlet needle valve...

I was careful not to tweak the tabs during tear down and cleaning.

One side is fine, so it must be close.

PSI should be 3-4, right?

3.5 I think. And IIRC, you are suppposed to shim the needle valves rather than bend the floats.

You're too good for me now, is that it?

No, it's cool. I didn' wanna see your dumbass engine run again anyway.

No worries. I didn't think I heard a six fire off yesterday.

Good job on the carbs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Your venruries affect your torque, so I would probably stick with 30's for the streat or AX, it will give a little more torque than say 32's.

Stock 914-6's came with 27.5's I believe?

Thanks, Brad and Rich.
Now I have the sync and float level tools.

Getting closer to the goal.

Trekkor,

Try this.

Pano Weber article

Just to give proper credit, the article that Mike posted came from Mid-Engine Views (as it says on the first page), the newsletter of the Porsche 914 Owners Association. It was not published by Panorama.
