Wanted to sort out a couple of things and now I am driving the car more often (yeah, actually a 914-6 not on stands - I do have a 914-4 on stand though). I was wondering about the PMO's I have not looked into the jet size, etc and am needing some guidelines on jets, etc. The car runs great but it is very prone to flood when first starting.
I moved the fuel pump to the front of the car because in West Texas if you don't you will fight the vapor lock issue. While I was at it I replaced all the rubber lines (already had stainless through the body) and I bumped the fuel regulator on the return side of the system. I have learned through trial and error how to start when it is cold but it is a hassle sometimes. The engine is a 2.5 short stroke 6 and is quite strong so I do not want to set things too lean; however, I would not mind leaning it out a little so it starts a little easier? Anyone have any info on PMO carbs (I should probably just get fax PMO for data huh)?. Thought I would throw in a couple of photos of the car. It is Michel Richards 914-6 that he purchased from Jon Lowe. I am enjoying the car and once the blue car is finished and sold I will redo the interior and do a couple of other things to the 6.    |

I have figured out a way to get the car started and it is great when it warms up (probablty my fault anyway as I "adjusted" the fuel psi regulator and when I find the sweet spot should be better). This car runs well (thanks Michel - I loved the dual fuel pumps but one started leaking real bad around the housing so I moved the other one up front and will carry a spare if I go on long trips - the car runs great, I love it) and I am simply wanting to understand the PMO's and fine tune things. I will get with PMO. Thanks |
