Afternoon!
My 914 has a 1.7L engine(original) and I am running a pair of 36IDF carbs. I have rebuilt them personally, had another relatively local 914 specialist rebuild them and I am still not entirely happy with the way they perform.... Transition and coming on to throttle up to when the main jets come on seems to be the issue. Is there a rebuilder/cleaner that everyone on here recommends? I figure some sort of ultra sonic blasting to clean out the ports/chambers that I am not able to get to would be the best. Any insight? Possibly also rejetting suggestions might be good as well. Thanks, Casey |

The only issue is really throttle response... On throttle tip in it always bogs rather than picking up. To overcome this you need to rev to ~3k and slip the clutch higher so that is doesnt bog. That is really the only issue with the car. From the research that I have done it seems like it is a problem with the idle circuit of the carb as it only happens at lower RPM through transition.
The Valves were adjusted roughly 300 miles ago when the heads came off to replace the seals for the pushrod tubes. I will order that book right now... Only copy I saw was on amazon for $102. |
