Looking at a 73 1.7 with one carb. Is this a deal breaker?

Not a deal breaker if that’s the only kludged repair the PO did. Look for other band aid repairs. If all is ok then it should at least reduce the price by the cost to replace that carb. If not, don’t buy it.
The cheapest 914 is the most expensive 914 you can buy. |

There are 3 major issues you need to look out for: - Rust - Corrosion - Fe2O3•32H2O (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

It's only problematic if you are expecting to gain performance by adding carbs to an engine with a FI cam. It will run just fine, just not as good as with the original FI in good working order. Plus, now you have to deal with re-jetting every time you dive up/down a mountain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

Two carbs, not oversized, are significantly better than one.
