914/6 conversion gremlin Options

[rfuerst911sc]

Over the weekend my 3.0 conversion started running like crap. Almost instantly it went from running good to crap. Seems like it is not running on all cylinders. On Sunday I installed new spark plugs but that made no difference and the old plugs ( less than 3 months old ) looked fine. When I restarted after the new plugs the car would not turn off when I turned the ignition off ? She finally died on her own from the poor running. So I decided to put my battery tender on as the battery seemed low ( less than 1 month old ). Today when I got home from work I noticed the alternator light on the dash was lit with the key off.....wtf ??? So the battery is new,spark plugs new along with ignition wires,coil. The ignition box is a Mallory digital being driven by a recurved Jerry Woods distributor. And the alternator was rebuilt by a local shop. Any ideas what's going on ?

Yes, #4. Unscrew it, Don't drop the tiny rubber grommet/washer. You can take the stem out of the base, take some carb cleaner (Away from the cars), spray the base and up into the stem. It will spray outside the tip. Put the stem back on the base, push rubber grommet/washer over stem to the base. Shoot some carb cleaner into the whole in carb where the jet came out and screw the jet back in. Next one. It will go real quick.

Sounds like you have enough filters, the crap that will clog an idle jet is way small. Also with the gas out there now, sometimes it's just turning to varnish quicker & clogging. Do some searching to see if you can find ethanal-free gas in your area. Our cars don't like ethanal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
