Got a 1975 914 1.8 that I am starting to restore with some updates (chrome bumpers etc.). The fuel injection still works for the most part but I have already got hot start problems and eventually want to do a big bore and maybe a performance cam. Weber carbs direct sells a dual Weber 40 idf kit complete for $640.
I'd like to hear the pros and cons of converting to the dual carbs. Tell me what you think guys! JT |

The cold start valve and thermoswitch don't come into play with a warm engine..Correct me if i'm wrong, I think you have to have cold weather (below 35 degrees) for these to kick in....I would check fuel pressure with just "key on" dwell timing etc......

Just to add that a leaky injector could be a problem. Have them tested and cleaned. New ones are available. I replaced all 4 of mine last year. Autohausaz had them and they were on sale at that time. |
