I'm helping my friend get his car working correctly. We are having some carb issues. What is the process for getting the correct idle jets? I have read instructions on the redline website but I'm still having issues. The 914 is a 4cyl 2270 with dual weber 44 Idf's.
I read something about removing the main stacks then driving around. Can somebody please explain this method further. |

AFR gauges are nearly useless except at WOT with a load.
This is the only time that the guys at the track even bother to look at the gauge. Most guys with dataloggers even log the throttle position, so they know when the AFR is "valid" (when the data indicates WOT). So using an AFR to tune at idle will be an exercise in futility. Follow the process on the redline website for lean best idle: http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Tech/carb..._lean_best_.htm "If the mixture screw is more than 2 1/2 turns out then the Idle jet is too lean (too Small). When the mixture screw is less than 11/2 then the Idle jet is too rich (too large). " |
