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 |

Checked on the Mac's Carb Cleaner at NAPA.
Its recently been reformulated to reduce VOC's. It's a two layer chemical, the cleaner is in the bottom of the bucket and there is a rinse floating on top. Talked with one of the guys at the counter, the new formula does not work as well as the old version. Its specal order and a 5 gallon pails goes for $113 |
