Most of you have heard that I was forced against my will to put 40IDA3C carbs on my 914/6. Well, I had to rejet them for the S cams. I have not been able to get them to run correctly, and it has been weeks of dumping gas into the left 3 cylinders.

Today I decide to tackle the problem. I checked the float level, make sure all the jets are clean, verify the jets have the correct numbers, etc... Nothing appears wrong. So I decide to start over and baseline all the adjustments. I had already pulled the left air cleaner assembly, so I go ahead and pull the right one.

WTF!!!

ARRUUGGHH!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I installed the f***ing Aux venturis upside down on the left carb when I rejetted it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So I pull it apart, and change the Aux venturis. I get it as warm as possible and adjust it. It idles much better (well, as good as can be expected with S cams and worn throttle shafts). It even sits there and blows neat little smoke rings while warming up.

I get the linkage adjusted and take it out for a drive... WOO HOO!!! It pulls almost as good as it did with the MFI.


So maybe now I can get better than 10 mpg on my trip to work.


As I said, I am officially stupid!!!!

Don't feel stupid. Imagine how I feel not having any idea what you're even talking about and I have a new set of PMOs sitting in a box that I'm going to need to install one day. My choice is either to pay way too much money to let somebody else have all the fun or learn a new language (carb'lish). I have a feeling I'll be asking lots of stupid questions when i get to that point in the project.

By then you'll be an expert!
