I live in Springfield, Mo and wouldn't mind traveling. I would consider myself a "mechanic", not by trade, but by hobby. I usually work on motorcycles, and do all my own service work on my personal vehicles. What kind of help are you needing?

We drained the gas, bought a new battery, put new gas (and injector treatment in the gas). The only time it fires is when we put gas in directly in. It runs for 4-5 seconds then dies. |

Injectors gum up too and probably did if stored with gas in the lines. After that long I'd test each of them (briefly, they're rated for about 3v) with a six volt battery and make sure they buzz actively. Or you can take them to a commercial injector place that has an injector profiler. They can test them for pattern and flow and replace the rubbers for about $20 each.
Frankly, just to get them going I've done the battery thing and gently knocked the bases (not the actual fuel hole... that's metered) with a brass drift or wood to get them buzzing. That's not as good as getting them tested but got it going. Then officially tested later. Good luck |

It sounds like longer distances are an issue right now. If they weren't, I would suggest Brad Mayeur in East Peoria IL. He's been working on 914s since there were 914s, and knows them very well indeed. His company is called 914 Limited.

However, If I need more in depth professional work, than BHR in KC. If it comes down to machine shop work then either Brad Mayuer in IL or an aquentances from Ok. Im a machanic by trade (A10 warthog), and I inherrited my fathers genes. |
