ok here goes. i have been enlisted to help a friend that has little automotive background get his 72 914 running after a 5+ years in storage. this far i have pumped the gas tank empty and filled with fresh. the fuel pump runs till it builds pressure then stops running. i have spark into the dist. cap but no spark out. cap and rotor were new when parked. now the rotor is nothing like i have ever seen before. i have very limited experience with american muscle and im a diesel mechanic for a living so this whole extra ignition system is borderline voodoo to me. i cant seem to get this sob to run and im bound and determine to do so. so if anyone can tell me what i need to look for that would be great. also i need to know the location of the fuel pump and fuel filter(havent looked yet but figured im on here ill ask anyway). thanks for any help and if more info is needed let me know and ill get it promptly as possible. vin will be here soon

QUOTE(rhodyguy @ Nov 11 2013, 08:12 AM)  carbs or fi? in addition to the filter there is a fine mesh sock/stainer located in the bottom of the fuel tank. it can be seen when the tank is emptied of fuel by looking down the tank fill opening and may get sucked flat restricting fuel flow. the reg filter should be below the engine shelve roughly where the battery sits unless the pump has been relocated. have your friend get a Haynes 914 manual. if the pump had been relocated which i dont think think it has where is the updated location. if i read correctly the old location is down under the car on the right side just ahead of where you say the fuel filter should be. he wont get a manual because he trying to sell it |
