So I am covered in dirt and fuel and I feel great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) My 914 started up today for the first time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Took a few times after priming it through the pump and than putting fuel into the throttle body but it runs. It does idle too high right now and that is the next problem I need to fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I tried adjusting the idle control screw. That didn't seem to work. Oh well...I was just so excited to hear it actually start and run instead of conking out like it did the first like 10 or so tries. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I will be uploading a youtube vid of it and posting the link for everyone to see it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with Jon. Get the timing checked right away. From the video that idle is very high. How high was it 3 or 4 thousand rpm? Check for a MAJOR vacuum leak. When my car idled that high I chased all the vacuum lines and it ended up being a cracked intake plenum. Good luck. Glad you got it running. A little fine tuning and you are there.
