Memorial Day Weekend Plans, 914 going under the knife Options

[rwilner]

Well,
The wife is working all 3 days this weekend, so all my little 914 projects are going to get done. here's what's on the docket:

• install jwest fuse panel
• install jwest fog light module
• install rennshift
• new shift bushings all around
• new clutch cable
• new accel cable
• replacing all the vaccuum hoses
• setting timing

A bit ambitious perhaps, but most of these are "while i'm in there" type things. Besides, I figure replacing the clutch and accel cables is best to do in the comfort of my garage....since the next time i have to do it might be on the side of the road!

What do you all have planned for the long weekend? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

P.S. any boston area teeners are welcome to come by and wrench with me!

My 914-4 2.0 carb'd has been running kinda like poo for the last month or so. So my earlier post in this thread was to eliminate most simple things. I did get done:

Valve adjust, proper 6 intake, 8 exhaust

No new points, but set to perfect dwell of 47-48

New plugs and wires (Beru's and Bosch plugs)

Fired it back up, still runs about the same, better, but not like it did when I bought it.

Start turning the little idle air screws (40IDF's), #4 and #1 don't respond.

I tried to kinda blow them out, but no diff.

Gotta order up some tune-up kits for both sides now.

It's really jerky, sometimes will run perfect, others will really sputter, pop, fart. Just sitting idling, pop! Pop! and "tweep" out the intakes.

Converting back to FI is looking more tempting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
