I was driving the 914 home from my in-laws I decided to stop for ice cream for the girls. It had started just fine at their house, then drove for 20 or so minutes before stopping. Bought the ice cream, then the car wouldn't start back up. Battery seems fine, and I think the starter was fine as it was turning over, but the engine wouldn't fire up. Sorta seemed like no fuel? Waited a few minutes then tried again but no luck. Called home to tell the wife, then naturally my cell battery died. Waited a few more minutes, tried and failed to start, then walked home to kill time and post/search on here (and keep my wife from freaking!) So any tips? |

It got flooded.
probably need to replace your CHT. These motor get hotter when you park them...by quite a bit on a 20 minute drive. If it happens again, remove the air cleaner so the intake gets fresh air, hold your foot to the floor so the throttle is wide open and crank it for a bit...you will eventually get it going. I suspect if you go back after an hour or so, it will start right up. Get it home.. we can tell you a few tests to see what the real problem is. rich |
