Picked up a 75 914-6 that has been sitting way too long at a body shop 8-10 years. As if I need another project like a hole in the head.
The body shop went bankrupt and the car went thru a couple of hands.... It has a laundry list of problems, including flintstone brakes, disassembled and seized webers. I picked it up for a really good price about the price of a factory oil tank. I'll cover the car in a different tread. The IDA3C shafts are seized on both carbs. I've pulled the carbs and manifolds to clean them up and have a few questions. 1) What is the best way to separate the manifolds from the carbs. I've removed the bolts and tried gently tapping on the manifold to break them loose. 2) Is there any hope/tricks for un-seizing the throttle shafts? Would immersion ultrasonic cleaning have any chance in freeing them? Thanks for your input |

You can get a 5 gallon bucket of Mac's carb dip from your local NAPA store. Last time I got one it was around $85. It smells like mothballs soaked in methanol, but it works. I use stainless tie wire to hang the carb in the bucket, close the lid and let it sit for a day or two. You won't believe what you pull out. Never stick your hand in it. It's very caustic and will melt the blue nitrile gloves, so be careful. Never dip anything in it with plastic that you want to keep.

Go down to your local Home Depot and get a 5 gallon bucket with a lid and fill it up with diesel, drop them in and close the lid for a few days! You will be surprised how easy they come appart!
