I began trying to diagnose a part throttle miss....idles great...takes throttle great....hold throttle at almost any RPM and it misses.....seems to not miss as bad at higher RPM....its carbed... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Checked the folowing:

Timing
Fuel pressure...

Started to mess with the what I like to call "mixture thumbscrews" until the miss got a bit better but still not gone....A friend told me to try pouring some "Seafoam" in with the gas on the next fill up....AND although Im not a big "magic elixer" will fix it guy.... Everyone I asked said this Seafoam stuff worked for them (4 people out of 4 gave good reviews) and so....I poured a bottle of this stuff in....and WHAM...miss is almost completely gone.....and improving seemingly the more I drive it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Hey...whatever works I guess..So now Im planning an hour long drive to and from Tacoma....in the near future....

Ok so now the two questions...

1) How do I identify what Webers I have?

2) Is the fuel expansion tank standard equiptment on all 914 that came with Fuel Injection? And do I need it when I go to a V8 on my other car?

Ok...guess that was really three questions.....

Thanks again for all your help..

Steve

On my Weber IDFs, the model and size is stamped at the bottom on one of the flanges (where it bolts to the intake manifold).

The carb tech articles here: http://www.aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles.htm might help you understand how different jets/components of the carbs affect different RPM ranges...
