Hello 914 World... What a terrific site and help to anything 914. Now here is my dilemma... Need help in Denver, CO
I have been sorting my friends 1973 1.7L FI D-Jet 914 for a couple months now including all fuel and vacuum hoses, hell hole, clean and lube distributor, new points and condenser, fuel injector seals, intake rubbers, all Rennlist checks... et al. Good news.... She runs great when I start her with a remote starter... Bad news is the motor starts really hard and won.t stay running if I use the ignition switch or even attempt to push the yellow wire onto the solenoid when it is idling after a remote switch start. Of course it makes sense that maybe the ignition switch is crap and bleeding off current or...? I have ordered a new switch but... Maybe I missing something here.... Like I said it runs and is so tuneable if I remote start and dead to me if I use the ignition switch as designed. Anyone got any ideas on how to check this out... BTW, I have wrenching on bikes Triumph, BSA and most of the Japanese stuff nad a few VW bugs since the 60's and find the 914 pretty wrench friendly... |

At the coil there should be a black and red wire going to the 15 (+) terminal. This wire should be hot with the key on.
There should be a black and purple wire going to terminal 1 (-). This is for the tach, car will run without this. There should be a green wire gioing to terminal 1 (-). This is to the points. No FI wires go to the coil unless this is really a 74 1.8L with AFC Fuel Injection. Jim |
