Times must be hard or George has seen the light and converted. AutoAtlanta sending out sales flyers with a carb conversion kit. I ordered one with the assurance that AA would stand behind the quality even if they are "China junk". I told them that I would come towing my 914 up to their door if they didn't perform.

The main advice I would give to anyone thinking about or running carbs is to buy the book on tuning and rebuilding them, and read it until you understand it completely.
If you read the book once and it doesn't make sense, read it again! I see a lot of people switch to carbs, have them 'tuned' by a shop that doesn't know what the hell they are doing, and then just drive their car around running like crap or on 3 cylinders until it becomes unbearable, when just spending 5 minutes cleaning a clogged jet or changing them would make all the difference in the world. |
