The Carb Revolution, A shortage of capable 914 mechanics? Options

[JawjaPorsche]

I have noticed a lot of 914's for sale lately on Ebay, Craiglist, and here on 914World that have carbs. I was wondering what prompted these owners to scrap their FI for carbs? As a original owner of a 914 I know you have to stay on top of the FI system with maintenance and tender care. Was it because some teeners exchanged owners so much that it was easier to switch to carbs than to chase the FI problem? Or was it because there is a shortage of capable 914 FI mechanics that understand the D-Jet system or L-Jet system? This is not a knock on teener owners that have carbs.

8 years ago I started working on old VW's with the D-jet and after a while the D-jet (and the L-Jet) are not that difficult to understand. I see myself as a teener (33 / build year 1978), I disagree that teeners can't work with this system.
The most common mistake people & teeners make is that they overlook the basic engine setup which is far more important than the injection system. But a lot of people see a lot of wires and go mad, instead of following simple things as timing / valve clearance / compression and the most of all the mistakes -> air lekkage before the cilinder head (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Internet did help me find a book of the 80's with all the knowledge you needed to know, a simple flow chart.
