As you can tell by my title "newbie", i and new to the world of 914s. I know this model was made from 70-76, and there are a few differant sized engine that were used. my car that i just aquired looks like it has been sitting for quite a while, and all the labels and stickers are long gone. There are quite a few problems to be worked out. Question 1, How do i know what size engine is in my car, assuming it is still stock which i think it is. Question 2 - with battery cables hooked to battery, the 2 red arched light in the fuel level guage blink just like the blinker would weather key is in on position or not. Brake reservoir is bone dry. would that cause the blinking? Ive read on here that there is a "reset" button on the master cylinder? is it an obvious button or will i have to look for it? THanks for the help.
Are these cars carburated or fuel injected? mine looks like it is carburated, but some listings i just found make me worried. If i read my schematic right the computer for the fuel injection plugs into the relay block in the engine compartment, am i correct? If they are fuel injected, and that is where the computer plugs into, i am screwed cause i cant find the computer and that plug is empty. where would the computer be? - Paul |

from your pics it looks like the engine code is missing from its usual spot. it should be right under the carb return spring you posted. heres the pics of my 2 engines..ones in the car and one on the stand:
you can just make out the first 2 letters the karmann sticker tells you the original paint code of the car the black sticker tells you the man. date and MY im sure more will chime in with better info. i wonder what L97 G paint code is? |

i wonder what L97 G paint code is? L97G was Gold Metallic in '71 and '72. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=colors Paul, your car was originally this color. My '74 2.0 came with the Weber Progressive carb like you have there. It's fine for getting it running, although you'll get a lot of hesitation and stumbling in cold weather. Eventually you will probably want to convert to dual carbs or take it back to the original stock FI, if you can find all the parts. |
