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 |

Hot start is ignition and fuel related from what I have found.
On the ignition side...clean it all up, get new points, set the dwell and timing spot on and adjust your valves properly. Remove and clean the distributor and re-grease the advance plates...they have 35 year old grease and they sieze up fully advanced when its hot...then its tough to start fully advanced. On the fuel side, typically its time for a new fuel filter and check your fuel pressure when hot. In CA, any change (FI to carbs) is not legal...yes you are not checked, but you could get a ticket if you find a knowledgable LEO. Rich |
