Trying to get my 914 going, does anyone know a good mechanic near Blue Springs Missouri?

Injectors gum up too and probably did if stored with gas in the lines. After that long I'd test each of them (briefly, they're rated for about 3v) with a six volt battery and make sure they buzz actively. Or you can take them to a commercial injector place that has an injector profiler. They can test them for pattern and flow and replace the rubbers for about $20 each.
Frankly, just to get them going I've done the battery thing and gently knocked the bases (not the actual fuel hole... that's metered) with a brass drift or wood to get them buzzing. That's not as good as getting them tested but got it going. Then officially tested later. Good luck |
