Lawdy, Lawdy, AA pushing carburetors Options

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.

I can understand the good Dr. wanting to sell kits at a reasonable price , heck he probably wouldn't charge too much to install said kit , but if the owner does this himself , be advised that as others have said , get the carb tuning guides available , all of them would be best , read , read again , install with the knowlege of knowing or not knowing exactly what cam , lifters , head setup you have and go from there . I personaly own the weber guides , Thomposon's guide , and others , I have read and read and read , and I am not yet at the stage of rebuilding the 40 IDF's that came off of my engine , I haven't a clue as to the cam / head setup I have and all of this is going to be a challenge. Carbs can be a good alternative to fuel injection , just as fuel injection a lot of variables exist and compensated for ( with in reason , or $$$$ ) just can't expect to get a bolt on carb kit , install and fire it up and take off into the wild blue yonder . There are a lot of folks that do run carbs , a lot run the FI , always differing ideas . Do a search , it can be informative and there is some good info on the subject , here and other places , and if you do carbs , you might as well have a serious look at your ignition setup also , each one can drive you up the wall trying to figure out which one is giving the troubles that may occur. That all being said , GOOD LUCK , Sir ...
