My 914 still doesn’t start regularly. I turn the key and every time I heir the buzz my guess is the D-Jet fuel pumping and then it might start or nothing happens. Once it starts cranking it will start just fine. Here is a list of what I’ve done. What am I missing??? What could be wrong?
New battery Clean the connections on the battery New ends on the positive wires to the battery New ignition switch Clean and replaced connections on the starter solenoid Cleaned ground strap connections from tranny to trunk Kevan |

The cars I have at the shop dont run the same lines as the early cars (4 75/76 complete cars). I explained "my theory" on why the vapor lock issue happens and why they moved the pump later. I also know they moved the pump because the exhaust physically ran hotter with the Cat in place creating even more under body heat.
I should have been more clear (I dont move pumps to the front of cars that came with pumps in the back) I knew what year car Swood had (which has its pump in the rear). Sometimes I answer questions knowing information about the owner and his car that the readers may or may not know. I have a bad habit of paying attentiong and recalling everyone/everything. B |
