Howdy! New to the 914 scene and am very excited about being part of this community!
I found a very nice 74 2.0 914 that was stored in an airplane hanger. I actually was looking at a motorcycle and saw this in the corner. The deal was made and the tow truck hauled it away. Varnish in the tank, fuel pump non-operational, and typical decay from sitting for over 10 years. Pulled the tank and dumped the old fuel, ran new fuel lines, changed out oil/filter, had the original fuel pump rebuilt, popped in a new battery and she lit right up!! Drove it around the block, put new tires on her and off I went. Drove it 60 easy highway miles. Can't believe there were no real glitches as far as the motor goes. And here we go! Not used to the sloppy shifter!! Is this normal? At first, shifted fine, but as the miles racked up, couldn't find first without grinding. Second and third, no problem, but fourth, couldnt find it. Fifth could be found if I swung the shifter back across the pattern to first then dumped it in fifth. Where do I start? at the shifter or the transmission? The shifter just feels as loose as a goose. Any ideas or directions appreciated!!! 914Bryan |

Very nice Bryan!! (post more pics)
Maybe you'll have to join us for one of our Dawn Patrol runs in the future...we're generally scaring other drivers and pedestrians in the Temecula/North San Diego area's but it's not too far from the OC and it's always a good time. |

I am interested in the Dawn Patrol and followed your last thread; it looks like a lot of fun! The way I look at it is that is to join you, I will HAVE to drive Ortega Highway over the mountain to get to the jump off point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Be sure to post your next outing and I would like to join the group. Thanks! Bryan |
